Apple just shocked everyone with iPadOS 26.1 beta 4 — and for once, they actually listened to users. In this update, Apple adds a brand-new Liquid Glass toggle that lets you choose between a Clear or Tinted interface look — something no one expected them to allow. In this video, I’ll walk you through exactly what’s new, how to use this new setting, the difference it makes in real-world apps, and what to expect before the RC and public release versions drop.
