iOS 26.1, macOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1 updates bring with a toggle for Liquid Glass

Apple has released the iOS 26.1, macOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1 updates. You can now reduce the transparency effect of Liquid Glass.

On iOS 26.1 and iPadOS 26.1, head to the Settings > Display & Brightness > and tap the option that says "Liquid Glass". Now, select Tinted. The option can be found under Settings > Appearance > Liquid Glass on macOS Tahoe 26.1. It doesn't completely reduce the transparency effect, but it's better than nothing.

And the updates are not just about Liquid Glass. Apple Intelligence is now available for the following languages: Chinese (traditional), Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Portuguese (Portugal), Swedish, Turkish, and Vietnamese. Live Translation with AirPods support for Chinese (Simplified and traditional), Japanese, Korean and Italian.

The Apple Music app supports a new gesture that lets you swipe left/right on the miniplayer to change the track. AutoMix is now supported over
AirPlay. Users can now log their workouts manually in the Fitness app.  Communication Safety and Web content filters to limit adult websites are now enabled by default for existing child accounts for ages 13-17, this based on the Country/region.

Ever tried to swipe on a notification on the Lock Screen, but accidentally opened the Camera app instead? You may like this. Users can now turn off the swipe gesture to open the Camera. To do so, open the Settings > Camera > and tap on "Lock Screen Swipe to Open Camera". You will still be able to access the Camera by long-pressing tapping on its button on the Lock Screen.

There is a new option under Settings > General > called Local Capture. This allows you to set the folder where video and audio recordings are saved, and it also has an audio-only toggle, if you don't want to record your screen during video calls. Gain control is available for external USB microphones when recording with local capture. Apple says it has improved FaceTime audio quality in low-bandwidth conditions

The name change from Apple TV+ to Apple TV is live, along with a new icon for the app.

iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1 and macOS Tahoe 26.1 come with a bunch of security fixes. Apple has also released macOS Sequoia 15.7.2, macOS Sonoma 14.8.2, Safari 26.1 with some patches for security vulnerabilities. None of these issues were actively exploited, aka no zero-day threats. But it's still a good to install the latest security updates to your devices safe.
