Bring back “clear” option on Liquid Glass

liquid Glass in iOS 27 has issues. I just want the option to have “clear” again. The slider all the way to the left makes most things impossible to read as there is no contrast at all if you have lighter backgrounds.

I have added “high contrast” but it makes all the other colours hideous and actually harder for me to read. I cannot use dark mode due to vision issues.

i get giving people the option to control, but why take away something that was working?

I should haven’t to change 5 different settings just to be able to read things on my extremely expensive phone.

so far, I deeply regret buying a new phone and upgrading to ios27.

this is just 1 of many issues and annoyances

If you would like to change the level of Liquid Glass, go to settings> display and brightness> Liquid Glass> and slide the slider until it matches your desired level. If you are referring to the apps, hold down in the Home Screen> customise> then clear to change your app icons to clear.

I hope this helps👍

I think you meant Settings, Appearance, Liquid Glass for iOS27
