    It looks like iOS 26.1 (+ iPadOS 26.1 and macOS26.1) will allow users to
    toggle the appearance of Liquid Glass in a "slide to stop" optionfor alarms in the Clock app, and more.

    <https://www.macrumors.com/2025/10/27/ios-26-1-release-date/>

    I'm not particularly put off by Liquid Glass but I know many users seem to be but it's nice to see Apple reacting positively to public opinion. That's not always been the case!

    They were probably already on high alert before public launch.

    Slide to stop for alarms will be useful for some no doubt. Even more
    useful would be the ability to set an alarm more than 24 hours into the future.[1]

    And while we're requesting changes, what about the ability to hang up an incoming call by tapping the screen? I know I can press the button on
    the side[2] but it would be nice to ignore a call without having to pick
    up the phone.


    [1] I could use a reminder of course but the default Reminder sound is
    too quiet and it can't be changed on a per reminder basis.

    [2] YMMV depending on phone model

    I like it on my MacBook; seems to really slow down my (approx. 2020 pre M1)
    iPad Pro.

    It is already posible to turn it off in 26.0,
    but this is hidden away in the 'Accessibility' tab.

    Os 26.1 will put it at a hgher level,
    making it easier to find,

    Not sure itrCOs that much better, itrCOs just one level up in a different panel, and you have to go to Accessibility first if you already turned on Reduce Transparency or Bold options.

    Yo do have to turn off the rCyReduce TransparencyrCO (and/or Bold if you set it) option first, then you can adjust the Liquid Glass setting in Displays, then go back and turn on rCyReduce TransparencyrCO again, which seems to overall give a much cleaner UI if you use both settings.

    IrCOm away from home minus my MBP so havenrCOt experimented with them yet. I do have my iPhone and have now updated it so will have a play later with iOS

    It is already posible to turn it off in 26.0,
    but this is hidden away in the 'Accessibility' tab.

    Os 26.1 will put it at a hgher level,
    making it easier to find,

    There is more to it. In addition there is the "Colored Theme" according
    to your settings. There are now 4 of them. Settings - Appearance.
