iOS 26.2 beta 1 is here, and it brings exciting updates for the Lock Screen. One of the big changes is the updated Liquid Glass slider, which allows for more customization of the time display on your iPhone. Let’s dive in!
Apple is all about giving users options. With this update, you can make the clock on your Lock Screen much more personal.
In iOS 26.1, Apple introduced a new feature that tinted the Liquid Glass across the system. Now, with 26.2, the new slider lets you adjust the clock’s transparency. You can choose between a very see-through look or a bold, opaque appearance. This improvement means you can tailor the clock display to fit your style better than before.
To access this feature, go to the Wallpaper editing screen and tap on the clock. You’ll notice that this slider offers much more flexibility compared to earlier iOS 26 versions, where choices were limited.
Think of it this way: if you want a clock that’s barely noticeable against your background, you can go for that. If you’d like it to stand out more, you can achieve that too. The visual options make it easy to express your taste.
It’s worth noting that resizing the clock is still only available with the default font. Users are hoping that future updates will expand this feature to other font styles.
A survey by TechCrunch shows that personalization features are a top priority for users, with 65% of respondents wanting more customization options. It seems Apple is listening.
As users explore this new feature, social media reactions are positive. Many users are sharing their updated Lock Screen setups, celebrating the newfound creativity and flair.
In a world where smartphones feel increasingly similar, the ability to customize makes a real difference. With each update, iOS continues to evolve, keeping user preferences front and center.
