Hmm don’t have the feeling. Probably toned done a tiny bit.
Not a huge fan of this. I got used to it over the weeks but in some way it still looks a bit cheap.
Got a tip for us?

Alarm clock toggles are still not using the Liquid Glass effect like settings do. Looks very cheap without any animation whatsoever..
Glad I’m not the only one! Fingers crossed they get it sorted out by release!
This makes me worry a bit, we are so close to the RC and public release but those small problems are still there.
When you tap and hold on the Home Screen and tap "edit pages", then immediately tap "done", the screen locks up. Can anyone else confirm?
Sure it’s possible. Just give us a slider that allows the user to adjust to more liquid glass or more frosted. Problem solved.
Tried a hard restart? I routinely do it after installing betas and my Music icons all look fine. iPhone 15.
I am satisfied with the beta so far, almost non bugs or glitches.
Ready for RC in two weeks

None of them have been that large. If you can get to storage quickly enough you’ll see the actual size. Very small compared to what’s shown in the update. It’s assumed to be a bug. Regardless each one downloads very quickly and installs just as fast. Only my initial 26 install took any time.
Man, you are absolutely right! Good catch!
When you long press an app-icon, the glassy outline stays, if you move the icon around it stays!
Just when closing the app, the closing animation itself is buggy and lets the outline pop in after the animation is done.
I cannot believe Apple is gonna ship iOS 26 with such a visible glitch. It’s bothering me like crazy. 😫
They can't seem to fix the 2 problems of the app popping back into the folder awkwardly and some icons showing correctly in an open folder as dark mode icons and then switching back to light when the folder is closed. These things are super annoying and show a lack of attention to detail that I would normally expect from Apple. And yes... I have reported these.
Yep. The redrawing is very quick but quite noticeable, this is on my 13 M4 iPP. Been this way throughout 26. Quite annoying.
All these visual issues at this stage are kinda nuts. Like, where's their QA team?
Here's a theory.
Maybe they realized beta 6 was peak polish, BUT it was sucking up too much battery and as a compromise, they removed some of the liquid glass intensive effects and slowed down the way effects render, accounting for all these very clear visual bugs in order to save battery.
It's the only explanation that comes to mind.
Or they dropped the ball in their QA efforts...

Then again some people would complain also about that apple has lost it‘s way and it’s simplicity with all this little customisation.
yeah this captures the issue I was talking about.
only way to not have glitchy app icons when opening and closing apps is to use the default homescreen bright theme or the default dark icons theme.
Any other combo (like clear icons theme or tinted icons theme) and it's glitch city.
