Whatsapp Liquid Glass for iPhone Users: WhatsApp has started introducing the new design of its app for iPhone users. With this update, Liquid Glass interface is being added to the app which looks and feels more modern and premium than before. This new design is inspired by the latest style of iOS 26.
How is the new Liquid Glass interface?
In this new interface the look of the app changes completely. Menus and buttons now appear as if they are floating gently on the screen. A glass-like transparent effect has been given in the design, which makes the app look more clean and futuristic.
New Tab Bar
The most important part of this update is the new Tab Bar. Where earlier it was visible normally at the bottom of the screen, now it appears slightly raised. Its light transparent design also gives a glimpse of the content behind, which brings a new depth effect to the app. This design looks great in both light and dark modes.
Buttons and menus also became smart
Now the buttons and menus of the app look smoother and more responsive than before. The animation feels quite fluid when you tap on any icon. Also, a light glass-like effect has been given in the menu which gives a uniform look to the entire interface.
Changes will also be seen in the keyboard
The new update also brings changes in the design of the keyboard. Now it looks softer and more transparent than before, which makes the typing experience feel more clean and premium.
Which users will get this feature?
This feature is currently being rolled out gradually. This means that all iPhone users will not get this update simultaneously. Users who are using the latest version of WhatsApp from the App Store can get to see this feature first.
How to activate it?
No separate setting has been given to turn on this new design. All you need to do is update WhatsApp from the App Store and ensure that your iPhone is running on iOS 26. If the new glass style Tab Bar starts appearing in your phone, then understand that the feature has been activated. If the old design is still visible then you may have to wait a little. According to reports, in the coming time WhatsApp can also implement this Liquid Glass design in more features like voice note player etc.
Why is this update special?
This change is not limited to just appearance but makes the app more smooth, modern and user-friendly. This experience for iPhone users is going to be more luxurious and premium than ever before.
