While it is not possible to get rid of the Liquid Glass effect completely, you can reduce the effect of it by following the steps below. I did it myself and find it much easier on the eyes.
Reduce Liquid Glass Effect: Fortunately, you can adjust this effect whenever you want. It should be turned on by default as soon as you install iOS 26, but you can tweak how transparent your iPhone looks. Here's how:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and go to Accessibility.
- Tap on Display & Text Size.
- Turn on Reduce Transparency.
You'll instantly notice that areas like the Control Center don't have a transparent effect anymore, letting you experience iOS 26 without any distractions.
