Apple is doubling down on the Liquid Glass design language introduced in iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26. The company has refreshed its Liquid Glass Design Gallery, offering a closer look at how this sleek, translucent aesthetic is being adopted across third-party apps.
The updated visual gallery showcases a range of iPhone and iPad apps, highlighting side-by-side comparisons between designs in iOS 18 and iOS 26.
In this latest version of Apple’s design gallery, the company explores how developers—from small teams to large organizations—are using Liquid Glass to craft more fluid and responsive experiences across its platforms.
Many of the featured apps incorporate Liquid Glass into key interface elements such as tab bars, navigation buttons, and bottom toolbars. Apple also points out design touches like pop-out menus and dedicated search buttons, both of which reflect interface patterns the company has introduced in its own apps.
Notable apps included in the gallery are AllTrails, Carrot Weather, Fantastical, Kroger, SketchPro, Trello, and Le Monde.
Apple had previously released a Liquid Glass gallery following the launch of iOS 26, offering additional examples of the design language in action.
Since its debut, Liquid Glass has seen only minor refinements—such as a slider on the Lock Screen clock that lets users adjust the intensity of the effect. Looking ahead, rumors indicate that iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 will retain the Liquid Glass aesthetic with minimal changes, though Apple may introduce a system-wide control for adjusting its opacity.
