Apple started rolling out the iOS 26 update to supported devices. One major change to this year is the introduction of the new Liquid Glass design, which is going to completely change how your iPhone is going to look. The update has received mixed feedback during the beta, but Apple has kept refining it and has now rolled it out for everyone.

Best Transparent Wallpapers for iPhone

Some people loved the new look on their iPhones, and most people who installed the beta version set transparent (clear) icons as their default icons.

To truly embrace this new look, pairing the clear icons with matching wallpaper can truly enhance the look of your iOS home screen. So, as part of our wallpaper drops, today I brought 26 best wallpapers that perfectly match the transparent icon setup on iOS 26.

As always, you can preview how it is going to look on your iPhone and click on the download icon to download the wallpaper. Follow the setup guide at the end of this post to know how to set them as your wallpapers on your Phone.
