Overview

• The visual refresh introduces dynamic translucency, depth effects, and fluid interactions that align with Apple’s iOS 26 framework.
• Early recipients report a redesigned translucent tab bar with responsive animations as the most noticeable change.
• Version 25.28.75 also adds support for Live Photos, writing suggestions, and on-device translation for text messages.
• The rollout follows beta testing that began last month, and broader availability is expected over the coming weeks.
• Some interface elements, notably the chat bar, still use the prior flat design, and installing the latest build does not guarantee immediate access.
