We've seen how the new Liquid Glass design language in iOS 26 will change Apple's own apps, but what about third-party apps? Here's a sneak preview.

iOS 26 looks new and modern. And for once, how Apple describes it — liquid glass — makes sense: it’s a lot of layers of transparent elements overlapping and, in places, the animations are quite… liquidy. Menus and buttons will respond to your touch, with some of them coalescing around your finger and sometimes separating out into new menus.

Apple has released iOS 26 Beta 4, and with it comes a bold revival of a concept first teased at WWDC 2025, the Liquid Glass interface.
