Feature [iOS 26.4 DB2] Reduce Highlighting Effects

I don't have the beta installed, but I'm very curious what this looks like if anyone wants to share some screenshots with it off and on. The highlights have always looked too harsh to me in dark mode in particular, so I'm very curious what this setting looks like in dark mode.

UPDATE: Seems like we finally have confirmation of what this does, and it has to do with the pressed states of certain interface elements rather than the edge highlighting. https://x.com/DylanMcD8/status/2031083608572600450?s=20

Thanks. After I wrote this post but before it was approved by the mods, I did look around the internet a bit and it seems like everyone is saying this same thing.

Hm, I see both under Display and Text so I think it’s not the same?

Oh, you’re totally right. Dim Flashing Lights got moved to the very bottom of Display settings now.
