New Apple Language nearly arrives here, and it comes to all major Apple Apps in the official IOS 26 program. That includes IOS, its most important plan.
Indeed, a liquid glass brings a great change in iOS 26, or what IOS 18 (Apple changes IOS numbers for years, and iOS 26 will emptize). I have been using IOS 26 engineer 26 weeks now, but now since the public Beta Beta is open, I can eventually share my thoughts.
Short version? Liquid glass may not bring altogether As much of the change in iOS as an apple is likely to believe, but may not be a bad thing. And when I focused on a liquid glass, there are many tons of iOS 26 to test features.
Like always, remember that IOS 26 beta is … beta. So, replace your phone before making a switch. And as Apple says in its BETA program, the “beta software may contain errors or incorrect and may not work with commercial released software. We encourage you to submit an answer when you meet these problems.
The foundations of liquid glass in iOS 26
The idea of the Apple Liquid Glass is simple. Instead of the apartment, minimalistic design of software, an apple accepts layers. Software material has been tied on top of each other, whether you see that or not. With liquid glass, those layers begin to focus. You can see what the things like buttons and controls, because of the items such as glass designed as a real glass. These visualists also bend and shine.
To clarity, this is not the case united The new Apple method. The company has been plays clearly plays – but with liquid glass, clarity is more involved than before.

So where are these glass items from? Well, beautiful everywhere. Most Apple stock apps have already been controls on the bottom of the screen. For example, in the music app, you will find search controls, access your library, and the current control of Media. In the news app, you get today’s stories, sport news, and search tools. With liquid glass, all of this control is reduced in a decrease in a decrease as you consider to grow what you can see on the screen.
The glass method means that the controls are completely focused or reduced, what causes the type of bending and repeating the same as the original glass is placed on top of the screen. It is a cool, future result, and certainly looks beautiful in my first test.
There are some places a glass that is heard with them. Perhaps the best example is a control center, now showing your home screen after all controls when swipe down. This is true for all Apple apps – however, the controls are different from iOS than in Macos (now now macos tahoe).

When IOS 26 Developer Betas began to remove, not everyone liked a liquid control center. There were problems with being able to recognize the controls on the screen, depending on the background. Apple prepared a number of those issues before the public beta iOS 26, and now it is easy to see what’s on the screen. Nevertheless, there were other places where I received some of the showing issues. For example app labels and app folders – if you have a bright and busy wallpaper, these labels can get hard to learn.
Fortunately, a large theme with a customized IOS 26, so if you want to reduce more than an apple.
Honestly, I really like a liquid of fluid. I like the idea of returning to the skeuomorphic formation process, and that does not mean an apple should perform a note app look like notepad. It would instead mean that things on the screen look like some type of material, whether it is glass or something else. And the apple did a good job in making a liquid glass feel smooth and the future of this beta. He is well interpreted when Skrola.
A limited interface
The new beauty is more than clear. This method is based on a lot to show more on the screen as possible, and sometimes it means taking controls, or at least crippled.

Since Skrola, many controls in applications such as media, messages, and music redirement in one icon that you can contact. I probably never bought these symptoms again, so I really don’t care if they are now caught.
I felt that the broadcast was very moved in some places. In the camera app, for example, when you start opening the app, you now have only two options: picture or video. In fact, there are other options not being found, hiding automatically. It is true that most users are probably breeded among all the different methods anyway, and you simply have pictures and video methods make things very easy. But if you use those additional methods, you will have to remember that they are still available to you, and without visual sites, don’t forget.

I also hope the Apple keeps tweak that looks the message the message. Instead of head with a profile picture of the contact with the name, back button, and the Facuteme button, there are floating bubbles at the top of the screen. It depends on what the background of those floating bubbles, you will see directly from the background messages, or the interface that will end to dire control.
This can be my problem, but as a journalist, I take many screenshots. Apple, if you listen, I don’t like to click more you need to save the screenshot.

You can customize a liquid glass
If you ever feel like there is too A lot of glass in your liquid story, you can change that. In addition to lowering the clarity, you can also customize app icons. And while the obvious appearance of Ultra-is clearly given to the wwDC, you don’t have to use liquid glass icons, and are automatically enabled. I think that is the smart. The change is intimidating, and this makes it easier for users who are not ready with a clear Ultra of a clear glass, complete.

I think the liquid glass appears to the exciting evolution of apple, and as mentioned, I like the Apple View to a software construction of a realistic life. In the meantime, you have to enter the access menu to extend the visualization way, but I expect Apple to remove many issues before IOS 26 legal. That is all the time of BETA, after all.
If you are interested in trying a liquid glass to you in iOS, Macos Tahoe, Pados, Tvos, or watlos, you can subscribe to the Apple Beta program.
