I see white outlines around the widgets, can something be done about it?

The iOS 26 gave us an unpleasant surprise - the "Liquid Glass" adds a white outline around the widgets which cannot be removed neither by an app nor by the user. We share your frustration — believe us, we're even more disappointed by this change than you are.

If you have already updated to iOS 26 - we're closely monitoring future iOS versions and exploring every option to mitigate this design issue. minimalist phone will receive an optional lighter (more grey) theme that would hide or minimize these borders.

If you are on iOS 18 or older - consider staying on iOS 18 if you prefer not to have white outlines around the widgets.
