Reduce Transparency on iPhone 17 Series

If text and menus on your iPhone 17 feel harder to read than they should, transparency effects are often the cause. iOS 26 uses blurred and see-through backgrounds in places like Control Center, the Dock, and system menus, which can reduce clarity. In this video, you’ll learn how to enable the Reduce Transparency accessibility feature to replace those effects with solid colors. This makes text stand out more clearly, reduces visual clutter, and creates a cleaner, easier-to-read interface across your iPhone.
