Whats new with Liquid Glass? What was announced at WWDC 2026.
Apple just announced design updates to Liquid Glass at WWDC.
Apple just announced several Liquid Glass design updates at WWDC, and as Mashable predicted months ago, Liquid Glass isn't going anywhere soon.
For one, a new slider lets users adjust transparency from Ultra Clear at one end to Tinted Glass at the other. This expands on existing Liquid Glass settings of Clear and Tinted, but previously, users can only choose between those two. Now, you'll be able to slide between Ultra Clear and Tinted Glass and customize just how liquid you want Liquid Glass to look.

Given the mixed response to Liquid Glass, it makes sense that Apple is updating it so quickly. But it's not the only design update Apple has announced at WWDC. As you might know, Liquid Glass is also on other OS systems, including Mac. Now, Apple is also adding a more uniform toolbar at the top of Mac apps. The left-side navigation will reach the end of the window.
