The iOS 26.1 beta 4 brings two important updates to your iPhone

Apple has released a new iOS beta, and this one brings a big change to Liquid Glass.

It seems Apple heard the critiques from Liquid Glass haters, and the new iOS 26.1 beta 4 offers a solution.

What’s new? If you haven’t downloaded the beta, don’t worry. We’ll tell you.

Liquid Glass opacity options

Easily the biggest addition to the iOS 26.1 beta 4 is the ability to toggle Liquid Glass. Apple brought an entirely new design to the iPhone with iOS 26 in the form of Liquid Glass, which incorporates lots of transparent elements into the UI.

While Liquid Glass’s clear styling certainly has its fans, others prefer the less transparent design of old.

In iOS 26.1 beta 4, users can now go to Settings, then Display & Brightness, followed by the Liquid Glass option, and select a new “Tinted” option. This changes the opacity behind notification windows and other key features. It basically makes Liquid Glass less see-through, making it easier on the eyes for some users. It’s the closest you can get to turning off Liquid Glass entirely.

While Apple did already provide Liquid Glass options in the Accessibility settings, this gives a more uniform set of options to users who just want a quick settings change.

Disable Lock Screen Swipe for Camera

Ever find yourself accidentally opening the Camera app on your iPhone due to how you’re holding the device while it’s locked?

Well, Apple has added a new settings option for you.

If an iPhone user currently swipes from right-to-left on their locked iPhone screen, it will automatically launch the Camera app without the need to unlock the device.

In iOS 26.1 beta 4, users can now disable that lock screen swipe for Camera entirely. Just go to the Camera options in the Settings app to toggle off “Lock Screen Swipe to Open Camera.”
