Apple introduces the Liquid Glass UI for iOS 26 during WWDC25, which features apps, buttons, and toolbars with a see-through design.
The transparency in the interface allows the background to influence the colors and appearance of the buttons and controls, creating a unique visual effect.
This Liquid Glass UI redesign is a departure from the previous iOS 7 update in 2013 and aligns with Apple's focus on clarity and sleek design principles.
The update will be uniform across all Apple devices like iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and CarPlay, with icons having a 'glassy' look and a semi-translucent background.
