You can somewhat make icons more transparent by turning off wallpaper tinting. It doesn’t change the icons themselves, but makes the wallpaper brighter, which makes it more visible behind the icons.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 26.2 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

Looks like the status icons in Safari no longer switch between black and white every 5 seconds when scrolling media-heavy sites. They still do in Messages, News, presumably more apps.
It's where the border of an app icon loses it's border and then it reappears. This happens when you tap to go into the app, swip up to go back home and you'll notice it if you pay attention to the app's icon.
I'm on a 17 Pro.
**UPDATE**
I did a force restart and that seems to have fixed the issue. Let's make sure it's for good.

Sounds like 26.2 is a minor update. I’ll be sitting this beta cycle out accordingly - nothing compelling enough to be putting up with beta battery and beta bugs for.
I’m keeping an eye out for next betas, there is still time for new features
Have the complaints started yet? 🤣
I’m not seeing any stutter going from widget page to Home Screen. (17 pro max)
How much free storage do you guys have?
It did not fix any issue that I have. A bunch appeared when 26.1 was first out as a beta, and most are still there.
What was the widget issue?
I’ve had the weather widget working without issue on my iPhone 17 Pro with CarPlay.
Don’t close your eyes when you’re swiping from the widget page 🤣
No fixes for me.
* Often glitches scrolling from Today View to homescreen (mentioned ad nauseam)
* Scrolling from Today View to lock screen is ... well, there's no scrolling, it just flickers off
* Can't create stacked widgets in the Today View (have to make elsewhere and drag over)
* Shortcut to turn on (or off) AOD will crash if AOD is already on (or off)
* Siri reads the text "Xi", even when obviously someone's name, as "eleven". "Tomorrow you're meeting your friend eleven for coffee". Duh.

With the slider for the lockscreen clock I really could imagine that we’re getting this an an upcoming beta of 26.2 or later with 26.3/26.4.
The pronunciation thing I believe can be fixed.
in the contacts entry, add a new field and choose “name (phonetic)” or (pronunciation) and write it as sounds (maybe Shi or Si? This you will know better haha), then I think Siri will use that to say the name.
Edit: Mac rumours even has an article about it https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/correct-siri-pronunciation-names/
What car? My Bronco Sport (12.3" screen) has always had 3 widget stacks. Wife's Kia (12" screen) only has 2 widget stacks. Ford SYNC3 (8" screen) only has one stack.
