Apple Changes Its Mind: iOS 26 Brings Back Liquid Glass Transparency. |
Cupertino, CA — Apple is once again tweaking the look of its mobile operating system. In the fourth beta release of iOS 26, the tech giant has officially brought back its signature "Liquid Glass" transparency effect, after reducing it in earlier beta versions. This return comes with visual improvements based on user feedback.
In previous betas (2 and 3), Apple gradually toned down the transparency of several UI elements, making them appear more opaque. But in Beta 4, Apple has reversed course. Testers have noticed that the interface now feels more fluid again, with improved clarity across navigation panels, buttons, and tabs in apps like the App Store, Photos, Apple Music, Weather, and more.
The Notification Center also received a smart tweak: wallpapers now darken when scrolling through messages, making text easier to read without distracting visuals.
This change likely reflects Apple’s response to user complaints. Many users felt that removing the full transparency effect made the interface look less premium and aesthetically dull, taking away the visual elegance that Liquid Glass was known for. Apple, in true form, listened — and responded.
Apple has released comparison images showcasing the changes in apps like Apple Music. The new design appears cleaner and more transparent, blending elements more naturally with the background. It brings back the signature "depth" effect many users loved.
Additionally, dynamic wallpapers are making a return — they subtly shift and animate based on user interaction, giving iOS 26 a more immersive and fluid experience overall.
Apple is expected to launch the stable version of iOS 26 in September 2025. That means iPhone users worldwide won’t have to wait long to experience the polished comeback of Liquid Glass.
Apple proves once again that it listens to its users. By reintroducing and refining the Liquid Glass effect in iOS 26, the company isn't just upgrading the UI visually — it’s also reinforcing its identity in design. This update shows Apple’s continued commitment to delivering a beautiful, seamless, and user-driven interface.
