Get ready for an exciting iOS update that will revolutionize your Lock Screen experience! Apple's iOS 26.2 beta 1 is here, and it's all about giving you more control over your Liquid Glass slider.
With this update, you can now customize the clock on your iPhone's Lock Screen to an extreme degree. It's like Apple is saying, "Hey, we know you want more options, and we're delivering!"
But here's where it gets controversial... iOS 26.1 introduced a Settings toggle for Liquid Glass, but it only offered two choices: Clear or Tinted. iOS 26.2, however, takes it up a notch with a true slider for the Lock Screen clock.
You can make the time display super transparent, almost see-through, or go for a solid, opaque look. It's like having your own personal design studio right on your Lock Screen!
And this is the part most people miss: the slider is available for all font options, not just the default. So, whether you prefer a sleek, modern font or a classic, traditional one, you can customize the transparency to match your style.
However, there's a slight catch. Apple still limits the resizing of the clock to the default font option. But hey, we can hope that future iOS 26.2 betas will unlock this feature for all font choices, right?
