I customized my iPhone lock screen using iOS 26.2's new transparency slider and I'm happier with how it looks

Customize your iphone lock screen with a spatial photo in ios 26.

In a sense, most software is a work in progress, with companies continuing to roll out tweaks and updates long after the initial release. For an example of that, look no further than iOS 26 in general and the new Liquid Glass interface in particular.

Liquid Glass debuted across Apple's different software platforms this fall, and it's safe to say the new look has garnered a mixed reaction. While some appreciate the glossy effects and transparent menu items, others have been less receptive, with some complaining that the new look makes some elements hard to see, particularly on an iPhone's display.
