Apple releases major update: New option in Liquid Glass design, learn what else is new..

If you're also using an iPhone, the company has another major update for you. Yes, the company has started rolling out the iOS 26.1 update. This new update further improves the interface and user experience. With iOS 26, Apple first introduced the Liquid Glass design, which was well-received by many users, but some complained about its excessive transparency. Now, Apple has introduced a solution in iOS 26.1, offering a new option to give users more control over the interface's appearance.

New Options Focus
This update primarily focuses on the Liquid Glass setting, which adds two visual styles: Clear and Tinted. The Clear option retains the transparent look found in iOS 26, while the Tinted option adds a light frosted layer, making the background slightly less transparent. This means that text and icons appear clearer and easier to read.

What else is new in the new update?
iOS 26.1 isn't just limited to the interface; it also improves many apps and features. The Apple Music app now features a new MiniPlayer Swipe gesture, allowing users to switch to the next or previous song without opening the app entirely. The AirPods' Live Translation feature now supports additional languages: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Italian.

Fitness app and FaceTime calls will be improved
This is also going to be a useful update for fitness enthusiasts. Workouts can now be manually logged in the Fitness app, allowing users to keep their exercise records more accurate. Furthermore, the audio quality of FaceTime calls has now improved even on poor network connections. If you also want to download the iOS 26.1 update on your iPhone, you can install it by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
