iOS 26.2 Lock Screen Gets Liquid Glass Slider

[Isidore]

When this was first introduced I actually got locked out of my ipad- the lockscreen image I have has a lot of refective patches in it- it's a picture of my children swiming with a lot of reflections off the sea surface. I could not see the keyboard to type my password. I was an amateur beta tester and I reported this- I felt this was quite a serious bug, but nothing was done. Even when they actually allowed you to reduce the transparency in the screen after you had logged in, the translucency persisted (they've just fixed this now) before you logged in. The workaround, it being a ipad and not an iphone, was to rotate the ipad 90 deg. which moved the keyboard off the sparkly sunny bits of the image. Lunacy! Real form before function stuff- what's happened to "it just works"?

its getting worser

As you know… every new update is the worst ever with as many bugs as never before… 🤡

This is so inane. Mismanagement means their energy is focused on nonsense like this rather than polishing many longstanding issues or creating a design that works without tons of options to customize it

Shouldn't the title say iOS 26.2 b1? I was excited that 26.2 had been released. But it's not.

Haven't we been asking Apple for *more* customization options for nearly decades now ever since Windows XP got the several UI styles (with the secret Zune theme you could download)?

Lmao, no. People were not asking Apple to make Mac OS X more like Windows XP. OS X made XP look like a child’s Fischer price toy. Kinda like how liquid glass makes Apple’s current OSes look like a child’s toy

One important question…
Does the clock/alarm app now has the Liquid Glass toggles?

Illegible text. Purple and brown iPhones. Can't wait for the next great idea...

Hallelujah, finally we can switch off the newest feature nobody wants.

I think you meant to say:

"Praise God! I can finally switch off a feature many people enjoy but I choose to ignore all the positive comments about Liquid Glass. I'll continue to pretend I’m the only person in the world and Apple needs to make something just for my preferences, Ohhhh yeahhhhh!"
