iOS 26.2 Lock Screen Gets Liquid Glass Slider

In iOS 26.2, there's a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you customize the appearance of the clock. When you select the "Glass" option, you can use the new slider to make the time look almost entirely clear, or give it a more frosted, solid look.

There continues to be a separate Solid toggle that turns off the Liquid Glass appearance for the clock entirely if you want to opt for a much more opaque design.

Apple has been adding Liquid Glass customization options, most recently introducing a "Tinted" toggle in iOS 26.1 that makes notifications and in-app buttons much more opaque for those who don't care for the Liquid Glass transparency.

Many iPhone users have been asking for a Liquid Glass slider to customize the intensity of Liquid Glass throughout iOS 26, but it's not clear if Apple plans to expand the slider beyond the Lock Screen.

Just give me an option to disable, not reduce, that shapeshifting border nonsense around icons and widgets.

Not fix them in place, please.. remove them.

Apple has selective hearing for people's disdain over Liquid Glass. It's NOT just the transparency that is the issue. It's the whole bubble buttons/interface that's complete trash. This should be just an optional theme at this point. Give us back the usable iOS 18 interface until this garbage is overhauled and made to be less user hostile.
