Upcoming iOS and macOS 26.1 Update Will Let You Fog up Your Liquid Glass
iOS 26.1 beta 4 adds a Liquid Glass toggle with clear and tinted options, disables lock screen Camera swipe, and expands AirPods Live Translation to multiple new languages.
This month, iOS 26.1 beta 4 is out now, introducing three important changes including a new Liquid Glass transparency toggle ahead of the public release later this month.
After users complained about readability, Apple added a Liquid Glass toggle in iOS 26.1 to ease switching between Clear and Tinted modes, addressing eye-strain concerns.
In Settings, users will find the Liquid Glass toggle in Settings > Display & Brightness on iPhone and iPad, and the Lock Screen Swipe to Open Camera toggle in Settings > Camera.
Disabling the swipe reduces accidental camera openings, letting phone owners access Camera widget and Camera Control while the Tinted Liquid Glass option may ease eye strain.
Meanwhile, language support is expanding in Apple Intelligence and AirPods Live Translation, and Local Capture now lets users choose file storage or limit captures to audio, with iOS 26.1 arriving soon.
