Apple's iOS 26 introduces a 'Liquid Glass' design, allowing users to make their home screen icons completely transparent. This customization option, accessed via a long-press and the 'Customize' menu, allows icons to show the wallpaper beneath. The process is similar to the iOS 18 icon tinting feature, offering users 'Light,' 'Dark,' 'Tinted,' and now 'Clear' options for icon appearance.
