The latest beta of Apple's iOS 26 software introduces a frosted 'Liquid Glass' aesthetic in navigation bars and notifications. This change follows criticism of earlier transparency muddling readability. The contrast between display and background is increased, enhancing user interface clarity. Despite the improvements, some designers question the loss of innovations found in the original redesign. Early testing revealed issues with user experience, notably in the iPhone's Control Center. Subsequent beta versions have seen a progressive reduction in the glassiness, incorporating a High Contrast Mode and darker blur effects in the Control Center.
In the latest beta of iOS 26, Apple frosted the 'Liquid Glass' aesthetic, increasing contrast and boldening bubbles to improve readability of the display.
Critics have expressed concern that reducing the transparency of iOS 26 could diminish the innovative look initially showcased by Apple in the redesign.
