Overview

  • Apple introduced Liquid Glass as its first universal design language since iOS 7 across iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26 and tvOS 26.
  • The interface features glass-like elements, dynamic transparency and real-time rendering to mimic the optical qualities of glass.
  • Apple has overhauled controls, toolbars and navigation in key apps including Camera, Photos, Safari, FaceTime, Music, News and Podcasts.
  • iOS 26 showcases the design with a revamped lock screen, fluid app icons and seamless animations that respond to user interactions.
  • Updated APIs are now available to help developers adapt their apps to the new design ahead of its rollout later this year.
