iOS 26 Beta 4 Restores ‘Liquid Glass’ Design, Public Beta Nears
Apple has just released iOS 26 beta 4 to developers, bringing a significant refinement to its ‘Liquid Glass’ design. After a brief departure in beta 3 that saw a ‘frosted’ appearance and mixed user feedback, the latest beta reintroduces the more transparent, ‘liquid’ aesthetic that characterized earlier iterations.
This design evolution is particularly noticeable in interface elements such as the App Store and Photos tab bars. Beta 4 exhibits a clearer, more transparent look, allowing content underneath to be more visible—a distinct shift from the reduced opacity observed in beta 3. This iterative refinement is a common practice during Apple’s beta cycles, demonstrating the company’s commitment to perfecting the user experience.
With the developer release of iOS 26 beta 4 now available, anticipation is building for the imminent public beta version. This signals Apple’s clear intention to move forward with the original ‘liquid’ design vision for the upcoming major iOS release.
