Am I missing something? Isn't this a total mess with focus on the wrong things?

iOS 26 has been a total mess UI wise.

It's all over the place, still in 26.1 -

for example:

1. The "liquid glass" switches in the clock/alarm app are STILL missing animation in 26.1

2. a simple minimisation of a folder to the dock is a glitchy mess...

This is on 3 of my devices, is this just something on my side?

Not seeing that folder glitch on my 16 Pro.

@Paddle1 is the folder on the dock? that's where it happens.

Have you tried restarting your device?

There are a ton of such glitches in 26. Although, in general, it was pretty smooth compared to 26.1 when I installed it on my iPad Pro. 26.2 made things a little worse for me. The issue in your video is very similar to many other areas. I don’t have folders in my dock but on my Home Screens I have at least a dozen or more folders, and that’s one thing ios 26 has had a bad time dealing with. Following someone else here’s suggestion I went to the trouble of resetting my Home Screen layout, which left me with a dozen or more Home Screens but no folders. Visual glitches pretty much disappeared when swiping through all those Home Screens, or when launching apps and web link icons. But as soon as I reorganized everything to how I wanted it, with only 2 Home Screens but, with many folders, all the glitches returned. Force quitting apps can help temporarily as will a restart but only temporarily. The system just cannot deal with multiple folders and Liquid Glass. It just taxes the devices too much, and that’s on a 17 Pro Max and an M5 iPad Pro. My guess is is that Liquid Glass will look far different in ios 27

Yeah I get that issue too. For me, it’s not a showstopper. Yes there are places where the Liquid Glass effect doesn’t work, but also not a big issue for me. Consistency should be key of course, but doesn’t always happen. For me it’s more about what can I deal with that doesn’t interfere with my daily activities.
