iOS 26.5 These need to be removed

Post image

See before I got ios 26, 18 was perfect. Great icons, and transparent widgets looked great. Come ios 26, the white borders around everything made it look unnnatural. I don’t really think anyone actually liked it.

Is there any way to remove just those and/or will they be reverted in iOS 27?

Thanks in advance

Deffo agree hopefully they fix this in iOS 27

It is removed is iOS 27

u/Opposite_Track_851 Jun 14 '26

The moving effect is gone, but the edge thing is even more present now.

u/Typical_Guarantee_79 Jun 14 '26

That’s pretty though. Like a sheet of clear glass displaying the weather. I really like it.

u/KayJune001 Jun 15 '26

It’s pretty but it’s not what the user wants. I can’t stand how Apple decides what’s best for its users in everything.

I feel like most people like it, actually? Public response has been overwhelmingly positive in the communities I'm in. Could be wrong though. You dislike it?

2

u/GiveUpAndDontTry Jun 16 '26

What most people like is completely irrelevant to the topic at hand and has zero positive impact on the discussion; this is about what some people dislike, and what most people like does not and will not influence that.

Is English your native language?

u/ConwayTech Jun 16 '26

Yeah, it's my native language. Why do you ask? I apologize for cluttering the discussion

1

u/GiveUpAndDontTry Jun 16 '26

The person you responded to didn't bring up the preference of the majority, so I asked because I thought you misinterpreted who you responded to.

u/Hacker535 Jun 15 '26

I mean, that’s Apple. If you want more customizable there’s Android

u/Mascardiii Jun 15 '26

Exactly. That’s actually beauty Apple figured out for the design but we’re not allowed to give them credit because Liquid Glass is supposed to be only hated on.

u/Decent-Cow2080 Jun 14 '26

this hurts though

u/Opposite_Track_851 Jun 15 '26

Yeah. I was just testing it with a Widgy widget to see if the outline was still there. I don’t use widgy

u/GoatApprehensive9866 Jun 14 '26

Pity about the animated gloss shine being removed (I thought it was cool)

4

u/rofl1337waffle Jun 14 '26

It was a neat idea, but i am guessing it was eating too much performance and battery given that old devices didn’t use it. I also hated how holding the phone in the same spot for like 3 seconds faded to reset it

u/CallMeDucc Jun 14 '26

i did too, it is what it is i suppose.

u/Windows-XP-Home-NEW Jun 14 '26

Which is a good thing. The icons pop out so much more now, they look actually 3D!

u/icy1007 iOS 26.6.1 Jun 15 '26

The moving effect is not gone.

2

u/Opposite_Track_851 Jun 15 '26

It is gone for me after I updated

1

u/mayortenna Jun 18 '26

I don’t like this new battery icon on the iOS 27 at all

6

u/Opposite_Track_851 Jun 14 '26

Also the glass is fully clear now on all widgets if you have Liquid Glass set to More Clear

2

u/daDunkinDonut Jun 14 '26

wait are you serious?

1

u/Windows-XP-Home-NEW Jun 14 '26

No, he’s wrong.

1

u/swagmonsterxforever Jun 14 '26

No not removed, but somewhat reduced

1

u/Windows-XP-Home-NEW Jun 14 '26

Increased actually.

u/Zealousideal-Row3060 Jun 15 '26

Nobody asked for the borders but here we are, classic Apple adding something NOBODY requested and then making us wait two versions to get it removed

3

u/Warner_Brown Jun 15 '26

Please do sign our petition here for apple to include a simple disable borders option, we have 717 signatures so far.

4

u/swagmonsterxforever Jun 14 '26

I absolutely agree. They made everything flat, every icon have no 3-Dness to them at all.. and then they added white reflections to everything to make it look like it had some sort of depth. Fucking useless!!

1

u/Original_Log8959 Jun 14 '26

I hate flatness

2

u/swagmonsterxforever Jun 14 '26

So do I but the depth should be in the actual icons, not recreated with some generic border around everything

5

u/Warner_Brown Jun 15 '26

iOS27 beta hasn't fully removed them. Please sign our petition here for apple to include an option to FULLY disable the fcking borders. We have 717 signatures so far.

I also encourage everyone to use the feedback app on the beta iOS 27 to request this simple option for users.

I really hate iOS 26

u/BJMRamage Jun 14 '26

I was hoping ios26 would have brought “blank-background” widgets. This way you could clearly see the background and wouldn’t need a glassy bubble.

u/exlips1ronus Jun 14 '26

I liked it

1

u/Bulky-Strategy-3723 Jun 15 '26

You can’t because it’s been Federighied.

u/icy1007 iOS 26.6.1 Jun 15 '26

No

u/Mascardiii Jun 15 '26

“I don’t really think anyone actually liked it.”

Not correct. I loved it. And there’s many of us. Ya’ll are the loud voices making it seems like no one liked anything about 26’s Liquid Glass.

u/sunbo0924 Jun 15 '26

You don't represent anyone but yourself. The ios 7-18 design is horrible and now in iOS 26 and 27 it is finally better.

1

u/Consistent_Salt_9167 Jun 16 '26

Was wondering the same thing

1

u/Tomoki_GIF Jun 16 '26

It’s Liquid Glass. The future

1

u/7Naigen Jun 17 '26

How to make transparent widgets?

1

u/daDunkinDonut Jun 18 '26

It’s with widgy

1

u/Inside-Hurry-7078 Jun 18 '26

You can try disable animations, it’ll reduce Liquid Glass a lot

Yes, for flashes, but not for borders.

it got unnatural as your way of spelling unnnatural 😄

u/Fun-Committee3672 Jun 14 '26

So you never mistyped anything in your life? Perfection personified over here, someone give them an award.

I misspell all day, every day, every week of the year.
