WhatsApp Begins Limited Rollout of Apple’s Liquid Glass Design on iOS

Access varies by account during a staged test focused on stability.

Overview

  • WhatsApp version 25.28.75 is now on the App Store and is compatible with the Liquid Glass interface, though only a subset of users currently see the redesign.
  • The phased release is controlled at the account level, reaching some beta testers and select public users, and installing the TestFlight or App Store build does not guarantee access.
  • Early changes include a semi‑translucent tab bar with depth effects plus updated keyboard, buttons, and context menus aligned with Apple’s iOS 26 visuals.
  • Meta has not formally announced the update, with availability first highlighted by WABetaInfo and user screenshots shared on social platforms.
  • The same iOS update adds support for Live Photos and on‑device text translation, with broader Liquid Glass availability expected to expand over the coming weeks.
