What’s New in iOS 26.1 Beta?
Apple’s latest iOS 26.1 beta introduces two notable features: the ability to tint Liquid Glass and a toggle to disable swiping to the camera from the lock screen.These additions, reported by MacRumors, offer users greater customization and security.
Liquid Glass Customization
Previously, Liquid Glass offered a clear aesthetic. The iOS 26.1 beta now allows users to choose a “Tinted” option, subtly altering the appearance of the interface. Early impressions suggest many users prefer the tinted version for its softer look. Image sliders demonstrating the difference between the “Clear” and “Tinted” Liquid Glass options are available on MacRumors.
Enhanced Lock Screen Security
The update also addresses a potential security concern. Users can now disable the swipe-to-camera gesture from the lock screen via Settings > Camera > Lock Screen Swipe to Open Camera.This prevents unauthorized access to the camera, even if someone has physical access to your unlocked phone but doesn’t know your passcode. This feature is particularly useful for users concerned about privacy or potential misuse of their device.
