"One of the biggest changes across most of the platforms is a new translucency control for Liquid Glass that tones it down without totally disabling the effect. Users can stay with the default Clear look to see the clearer, glassier look that allows more of the contents underneath Liquid Glass to show through, or the new Tinted look to get a more opaque background that shows only vague shapes and colors to improve readability."
"For iPad users, the update re-adds an updated version of the Slide Over multitasking mode, which uses quick swipes to summon and dismiss an individual app on top of the apps you're already using. The iPadOS 26 version looks a little different and includes some functional changes compared to the previous version-it's harder to switch which app is being used in Slide Over mode, but the Slide Over window can now be moved and resized just like any other iPadOS 26 app window."
Apple released final 26.1 updates for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and the HomePod operating system after several weeks of testing. The updates follow a unified year-based version numbering system introduced this fall. Updates add significant changes and tweaks to existing features and address early complaints and bugs that emerged after the September releases. A new translucency control for Liquid Glass lets users choose the clearer, glassier Clear look or the more opaque Tinted look to improve readability. iPadOS 26 restores Slide Over with quick swipes, altered app-switching behavior, and movable, resizable Slide Over windows.
