The Issue

Apple just launched iOS 26 — and for many users, it’s been a disaster.

The update’s biggest change, a flashy new “Liquid Glass” design, was supposed to make the interface feel modern and beautiful.

Instead, thousands of users say it’s made their phones harder to use, harder to read, and more buggy than ever.

Icons shimmer. Menus blur. Notifications warp. Battery life drops. And worst of all? There’s no way to fully turn it off.

Users across the internet are calling it:

“A visual disaster”
“Impossible to read”
“Slow and tiring to use”
“A warped nightmare”

Basic actions that once took a single tap now take longer. The new animations aren’t just annoying — for people with visual or sensory sensitivities, they’re overwhelming.

Even reducing transparency in accessibility settings doesn’t fully remove the effect. And for users who rely on clarity and speed to work, navigate, or communicate — this update broke something important.

Apple has built its reputation on clean, accessible design. That’s why we’re asking Apple leadership and CEO Tim Cook to:

  • Fix the Liquid Glass design by offering a full “classic mode” or visual toggle
  • Patch the reported bugs that are slowing devices, breaking UI elements, and draining batteries
  • Listen to users by restoring usability and accessibility to the iPhone.

No one should be forced to use an operating system that makes their phone harder to see, slower to use, and more draining on both the eyes and battery.

iOS 26 needs real fixes — not PR spin. Add your name if you agree.
