Yes, you can opt out of using Liquid Glass in your app's design. According to the Platforms State of the Union, when you rebuild your app with Xcode 26, standard controls will automatically be rendered with the new design and materials, including Liquid Glass. However, you have the option to continue using your app's current design with Xcode 26. This option is intended to be temporary and may be removed in the next major update.
