Apple apparently wasn’t satisfied with the Liquid Glass look in beta 2. iOS 26 beta 3 introduces another change, and now the glass isn’t that liquid anymore. The transparency has been reduced even further, giving the overall effect of frosted glass.

New Delhi: Apple has begun to subtly tone down its much-hyped " Liquid Glass " design language in the latest iOS 26 Beta 3, released to developers this week. The move, which sees a reduction in the signature transparency of UI elements, appears to be a direct response to early tester feedback regarding legibility and clarity.

The early version in the first developer beta of iOS 26 and the accompanying updates for Apple's other devices still left room for improvement in terms of usability, accessibility, and legibility.
