The upcoming iOS 26.1 update will bring several new features and changes to iPhones, including a toggle for the Liquid Glass design and a "slide to stop" feature for alarms in the Clock app.
Given that Apple has yet to release an iOS 26.1 Release Candidate, the update is expected to be released in early November, likely on Monday, November 3 or Tuesday, November 4.
iOS 26.1 allows users to choose their preferred look for Liquid Glass, with options for a more transparent "Clear" look and a more opaque "Tinted" look, accessible in the Settings app under Display and Brightness → Liquid Glass.
