iOS 26's Glassy Icons: A Wobbly View?

The latest iOS 26 update has a new feature called Liquid Glass. It makes app icons look like they're made of glass. This effect adds a glow to the corners of the icons. It's supposed to make them look more dynamic and three-dimensional. But not everyone is happy with this change. Some users say the glowing corners create an optical illusion. They make the icons look like they're tilting or crooked. This can be really distracting. Some people even feel dizzy or disoriented when they look at their screens. The problem seems to be worse when the icons are set to "Dark, " "Clear, " or "Tinted" modes. It's especially noticeable against dark or black backgrounds. Colorful wallpapers can help hide the effect. But it's still there, making some users feel like they're seeing things that aren't really there. Apple has options to reduce transparency and motion in the settings. But these don't seem to fix the issue. Users hope that Apple will add a new setting in the future. This setting could let them adjust or turn off the icon effect. The feedback has been mixed. Some users love the new look. Others find it frustrating. It's a reminder that what looks cool to some might not be so great for others. Apple will need to find a balance. They need to make sure their updates work for everyone.
