Apple Store App Adopts Liquid Glass With New Icon and Bottom Bar

The move reflects Apple's staged rollout of its new visual language across first‑party apps.

Overview

  • Apple Store v6.6 is available now on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
  • The update adds a Liquid Glass bottom bar with For You, Products, Go Further, and Bag tabs plus a Search button.
  • The app icon now features a Liquid Glass shopping bag on a blue gradient background.
  • Interface tweaks include a transparent, rounded navigation bar, a Liquid Glass slider, and an updated search experience, with content otherwise unchanged.
  • Release notes mention only "various improvements and performance enhancements," as the app joins TestFlight and Shazam in a gradual rollout that parallels new Liquid Glass controls in iOS 26.1 and the 26.2 beta.
