The iOS 26.6 developer beta released earlier today brings a few animation and interface tweaks, indicating that Apple is still working on the balance between practical usability and its original vision for Liquid Glass. Here\u2019s what\u2019s changed.<\/p>\n
Apple is not done tweaking Liquid Glass effects<\/p>\n
Liquid Glass has changed quite a bit since Apple\u2019s original announcement of the new visual language at WWDC last June.<\/p>\n
Following an initial pushback and a significant dialing down of the Liquid Glass effect across the system during the first betas, Apple gradually eased the transparency and distortion effects back until the release of iOS 26.<\/p>\n
Even so, Apple continued to refine the look, introducing a Settings toggle that lets users choose between Clear and Tinted interface options<\/a> on iOS 26.1, and a slider<\/a> for adjusting the Lock Screen clock on the first developer beta of iOS 26.2.<\/p>\n With the second iOS 26.2 beta released today, Apple tweaked the menu opening animation, bringing it closer to what the company presented at WWDC, as noted by Aaron Perris on X<\/a>:<\/p>\n For reference, here is a comparison between Apple\u2019s original announcement at WWDC, and what the animation currently looks like on iOS 26.1:<\/p>\n Today\u2019s beta also seems to have slightly tweaked the \u201cX\u201d, \u201cShow more\u201d, and \u201cClear All Notifications\u201d buttons that appear above notification stacks on the Lock Screen, bringing the Liquid Glass effect to these interface elements too, as noted by user mvbalan on Reddit:<\/p>\n [iOS 26.2 DB2] \u2018Show Less\u2019, \u2018X\u2019, and \u2018Clear All\u2019 buttons in Notification Center now feature the Liquid Glass design<\/a> What do you think about the new animations and effects?
