Apple Unveils Its New Design Coming With iOS 26: Liquid Glass

It’s been over a decade since Apple last introduced a major design overhaul for iOS—dating back to iOS 7 in 2013. Now, in 2025, Apple has officially announced iOS 26 along with Liquid Glass, a bold, modern interface refresh set to roll out across all Apple devices. This redesign touches every corner of the ecosystem, bringing a fresh, fluid visual language to iPhone, iPad, tvOS, watchOS, and beyond.

New Calling Layout Options With iOS 26

Liquid Glass isn’t just about aesthetics—it's transforming functionality too. On iPhone, the calling experience gets a major overhaul. Users will now be able to customize the layout of their Phone app based on personal preferences. Additional features include a pre-screen mode that lets callers leave a message before the call connects and improved detection of hold music during calls.

iPhone Messages Get Updates With Liquid Glass

Messaging is getting a fresh coat of Liquid Glass as well. iOS 26 brings new customization options such as conversation-specific backgrounds and enhanced spam filtering. Group chats receive notable improvements, including a long-awaited typing indicator that shows when someone in your group chat is composing a message.
