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.
