Get ready for a game-changer! Apple's iOS 26.2 update has just unleashed a new level of customization for your iPhone's Lock Screen, and it's a doozy.
Unlocking Personalization: The Liquid Glass Slider
The latest iOS 26.2 beta 1, available to developers, introduces an exciting update to the Liquid Glass slider. This feature allows you to customize the time display on your Lock Screen like never before.
Imagine having the power to make the clock on your Lock Screen as transparent as a ghost or as solid as a rock - it's all possible now!
But here's where it gets controversial: this feature was already available in previous iOS 26 versions, but it's now making a bigger splash. Why? Because Apple has amped up the customization options, giving users a true slider to play with.
Customizing Your Lock Screen: A Step-by-Step Guide
To access this new feature, simply tap on the clock within the Wallpaper editing screen. You'll find the slider there, ready to transform your Lock Screen's appearance.
The best part? You can apply this customization to all font options, not just the default. So, whether you prefer a more transparent or opaque look, you can make it happen.
And this is the part most people miss: the difference between the Liquid Glass Settings toggle in iOS 26.1 and the Lock Screen slider in iOS 26.2. While the former offers only two options, the latter gives you a true spectrum of possibilities.
A Word of Caution: Resizing Limitations
However, there's a catch. Apple still restricts resizing the clock to the default font option. But fear not, future iOS 26.2 betas might just bring this functionality to all font options on the Lock Screen.
So, how will you personalize your Lock Screen in iOS 26.2? Will you go for a subtle, see-through look, or opt for a bold, solid statement? Share your thoughts and ideas in the comments below.
