Apple rolls out iOS 27 with a fresh tweak to its Liquid Glass interface, letting users dial transparency on a new slider. The change expands on last year’s Clear vs Tinted options, giving a spectrum of opacity that goes beyond the default. iPhone owners will find the control in Settings → Appearance, right next to theme choices.

Apple first introduced Liquid Glass in iOS 26, a design that mixes glassy translucency with dynamic shading. While fans praised the aesthetic, some users found it too light or too dark. iOS 27’s slider lets anyone choose anywhere from the most transparent to the most tinted look, offering finer control over the visual hierarchy.

The new slider appears in screenshots of App Store, Apple Podcasts, and Lock‑Screen notifications, showcasing three reference points: most transparent, default, and most tinted. Users can stop at any point between, adjusting the level to match their visual preference or battery‑saving mode. The tweak is ready at launch, with no further beta tweaks reported.

This addition underscores Apple’s focus on user‑driven customization, turning a once‑standard visual element into a personal setting. By offering granular control, the company caters to both design purists and accessibility advocates. iOS 27 ships with the slider fully functional, ready for iPhone owners to fine‑tune their home screens immediately.
