**Liquid Glass-Hating Homies Rejoice: iOS 26.2 Gives You Yet Another Way to Adjust**
Apple's latest operating system update, iOS 26.2, is here and it brings a slew of new features and enhancements to your iPhone. But, if you're one of the many who detest Apple's Liquid Glass design, you'll be thrilled to know that this update gives you even more ways to customize it.
For those who may have missed it, Apple introduced Liquid Glass when it released iOS 26 in September. The design has been a topic of debate among iPhone users, with some praising its modern and playful look while others criticize its readability issues. Regardless, Apple is committed to expanding the customization options for this design, and iOS 26.2 takes another step in that direction.
Customize Your Lock Screen's Clock with Liquid Glass
One of the most notable new features in iOS 26.2 is the ability to adjust the frostedness of Liquid Glass on your lock screen's clock. When you go to customize your lock screen's clock, you'll see a new slider along the bottom of the page. Moving the slider to the left makes the clock more translucent, while moving it to the right makes it appear more solid.
This new feature allows for much greater control over the visibility of your clock, making it easier to glance at the time without being distracted by the rest of the lock screen.
Security Updates: Patches for Two Exploited Bugs
iOS 26.2 also patches more than two-dozen bugs on your iPhone, including two that could be used in "extremely sophisticated attacks" against specific targeted individuals using versions of iOS before iOS 26.
The two bugs are within WebKit, Apple's in-house-developed internet browser engine used in Safari. Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution, which could allow a third party to steal your data or hack your device for nefarious purposes.
Other New Features and Enhancements
iOS 26.2 brings a range of other new features and enhancements to your iPhone, including:
- A redesigned Measure app with Liquid Glass on its Level function
- Offline lyrics for Apple Music subscribers
- New features in the Podcasts app, including Chapters and links shared directly on the episode page
- A new menu in the News app with sections like Sports and Politics
- Reminders that can set alarms or timers
- Enhanced Safety Alerts, which provide more safety alerts such as earthquake and other threat alerts
Sleep Scores Adjusted with iOS 26.2 and WatchOS 26.2
iOS 26.2 also adjusts Sleep Scores in the Health app, raising the threshold for most scores. This means that your sleep quality will be categorized differently based on new ranges.
