Increased Transparency in Liquid Glass
Apple's iOS 27 beta 5, released yesterday, introduces a modification to the Liquid Glass feature. The update specifically adjusts the Liquid Glass slider, enabling users to achieve a higher level of transparency for interface elements than was possible in earlier beta versions.
Customization for User Interface
The Liquid Glass slider, located in Settings > Appearance > Liquid Glass, allows users to customize the transparency of UI elements. This update in beta 5 expands the range of transparency, offering a more 'glass-y' aesthetic for those who prefer highly transparent interfaces. The slider also supports tinted or intermediate transparency levels.
