01Summary

  1. 01Liquid Glass in iOS 27 can be adjusted in Settings > Appearance > Liquid Glass, or made less transparent by turning on Reduce Transparency in Accessibility.
  2. 02Siri AI keeps conversations forever by default, but users can change Keep Conversations to 30 Days or 1 Year in Settings > Siri.
  3. 03The Siri app can be set to open to A New Conversation instead of recent chats, and Siri writing tools can be blocked through Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions.
  4. 04Users can switch Siri back to “Hey Siri” in Settings > Siri > Talk to Siri to reduce accidental activations.
  5. 05Automatic subtitles can be turned off in Settings > Accessibility > Subtitles & Captioning, including options for muted playback and skip-back captions.

02Why it matters

These settings affect how the iPhone looks, when Siri activates and whether your chats and captions appear automatically. Changing them can reduce irritation and give you more control over how Apple’s software behaves.
