"The biggest feature of the update is a new design language that Apple calls Liquid Glass. The new design adds a glassy sheen to many different parts of the operating system, and things like buttons and search bars have a translucency that lets some elements of what's under them show through. Liquid Glass isn't just limited to iOS 26: it's also coming to iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26."
"Initially, I found there were some legibility issues, especially with Control Center. With later betas, though, I felt like Apple had really dialed in the look, and I've gotten used to it. In addition to Liquid Glass, iOS 26 adds features like Live Translation powered by Apple Intelligence, a new layout for the Phone app, call screening features, updates to Messages like the ability to create polls and add custom backgrounds to chats, and a new Games app."
iOS 26 will be released Monday, September 15th. The update introduces a new design language called Liquid Glass that adds a glassy sheen and translucency to UI elements such as buttons and search bars. Liquid Glass will appear across iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26. Over the iOS 26 betas, Apple adjusted the level of glassiness to improve legibility, particularly in Control Center, and later betas refined the look. iOS 26 also adds Live Translation powered by Apple Intelligence, a redesigned Phone app layout, call screening, Messages updates including polls and custom chat backgrounds, and a Games app.
