Removing LIQUID GLASS from iPhone, what can I do?

TidBITS Talk

iOS 26.1 on iPhone 14.

I tried to be good and get used to the LIQUID GLASS UI, but it’s no good for me. Much more difficult to read, motion effects that don’t help usability, transparencies without any sensible function, interface elements that change just because I scroll up/down. Colour schemes in icons that are for babies, not adults. I tried, I tried hard, but I don’t like it.

Apart from Settings > Display & Brightness > Liquid Glass = TINTED, what else can I do get back to normal?

I can’t say for sure, as the interface is fine with me, but Glenn Fleishman wrote a post on six colors.com recently which showed various accessibility options, and Adam wrote something here as well which is a bit more detailed.
