Apple tried to change the Liquid Glass design

Apple reduced the transparency of navigation panels, buttons and tabs. They previously made it possible to clearly see the contents under them. The new Liquid Glass design from Apple has become a little matte. This is about the third beta-version of iOS 26 for developers.

Apple has already softened the Liquid Glass glass, Xrust notes. This was the complaints of users. Like, it is too transparent and makes it difficult to view certain options, such as the icons inside the control center. This last beta version makes Liquid Glass elements even harder, probably as a way to improve readability.

ios 26 Beta 3 completely weakens the Liquid Glass, analysts wrote. Now everything looks much cheaper, and the feeling is created that Apple is departing from its original vision. True, there were those who have a cardinal opinion and offers Apple to “stop spoiling” Liquid Glass. Some beta-version users have found that the level of transparency can vary depending on the application they used.

The developers, of course, have read and stated: it is only a beta version for developers, so it is likely that Apple will continue to make changes before releasing iOS 26 for the general public in September.
