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.

Today's iOS 27 update addresses over 100 security vulnerabilities, which is a good reason to install the new software.
If you don't want to update to iOS 27 yet, Apple also released iOS 26.7 with over 80 security fixes. 75 of the fixes are shared across both updates, so iOS 26.7 addresses many of the same issues.
There are multiple kernel fixes, including one that could allow a malicious...
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.
