CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal : WhatsApp is reportedly testing a major visual redesign for iOS 26, adopting Apple’s new Liquid Glass interface. According to WABetaInfo, the update will bring a fully refreshed look compatible with iOS 26. Liquid Glass is a dynamic, translucent interface design introduced with iOS 26, adding subtle depth to background layers, buttons, and menus, shifting with light, movement, and user interaction. The goal is to create a consistent and visually appealing experience across the app without affecting performance, even on older devices.
Screenshots from a new beta version of WhatsApp for iOS reveal a dynamic, translucent design that combines the optical properties of glass with fluid, responsive behavior, creating shimmer, depth, and reflection effects throughout the app. This design approach aims to make apps feel more immersive and visually appealing while keeping usability and clarity intact.
For WhatsApp, implementing Liquid Glass requires a full redesign of the app’s appearance. The platform has already started compiling a beta version using the iOS 26 SDK with the latest Xcode build. The team is currently refining the interface to ensure a smooth transition from the existing flat design to the new translucent, responsive look aesthetic.
