Apple has just released iOS 26.1, which brings several key updates to iPhone users. The main highlight is the new transparency toggle for Liquid Glass, allowing users to adjust the design’s opacity and contrast. This feature helps address legibility issues introduced in previous versions.
With the toggle, you can switch between two Liquid Glass options: a transparent design or a frosted look with increased opacity and contrast. You can also customize swipe functions in certain apps, such as Apple Music and Camera. In iOS 26.1, Apple Music now allows users to quickly change songs by swiping on the mini player at the bottom of the screen.
Additionally, this update includes new language features, improved FaceTime audio quality, and enhanced Communication Safety and Web content filters for child accounts. The update is also available for iPadOS 26.1, macOS Tahoe 26.1, watchOS 26.1, visionOS 26.1, and tvOS 26.1.

* Transparency toggle for Liquid Glass
