in WWDC 2025Apple has just announced iOS 26, a new version that has been renamed from the program that runs the iPhone.
Apple decided that the iPhone future is brighter and more transparent with the advertisement of the next version of iOS, with a new appearance called liquid glass that takes the visual properties of the glass similar to the VisionOS interface on Vision Pro. How do we know that it is the future? Since the following iPhone is now iOS 26, which was renamed to coincide with the next year as part of the collection brand to bring symmetry to the system names, such as MacOS 26 and Watchos 26.
After more than a decade of a flat and clean user interface – it was renovated in iOS 7 when Jony IVE, the chief design official of Apple, the software design as well as the devices – the iPhone gets a new appearance. The new design extends all over the Apple product assortment, from iOS to Watchos to TVOS.
With liquid glass, notifications and buttons are glass panels on the home screen.
Transparent is the distinctive feature of liquid glass, acting like glass in the real world in the way you deal with light and the color of objects behind the controls and close. But it is not just a glass appearance: the “liquid” part of the liquid glass indicates how to combine controls and adaptation – turns dynamically, with Apple words. The sidewalk and stubbornness of the glass tools that float over the background are now closer.
Apple clearly made a lot of physical glass designs when going out with the new liquid glass interface.
Camera and photos apps become more implicit
The camera application gets a new and simple interface. You can say that the current camera application is very minimal, designed to make it quickly framing a shot and hitting the big shutter button. But the moment you enter the ocean, it becomes a strange mixture of hidden control and non -intuitive symbols.
The camera application has fewer deviations.
Now, the IOS 26 camera application is characterized by a “easier new design” that takes its simplicity to the extreme. Simplified design shows controls only: video or camera. The left or right turned to choose situations. Turn on the settings such as the percentage of width to height and time, and press additional preferences.
Through the updated photo application, the view of the photos you take is a better experience – a Welcome to the change that customers penetrated Since trying iOS 18 confusion. Instead of the long -term scrolling interface, the images regain a liquid glass menu at the bottom of the screen.
The photo application gets a welcome redarrival.
The phone application gets a renewal
The phone application is closely kept more than others on the appearance of its source: a backup interface with large buttons, as if you were carrying old headphones or a cell phone before the phone. The iOS 26 finally updates the update not only with the new comprehensive interface but in a unified design that benefits the largest properties on the screen on iPhone today.
Not only is it different. The phone application tries to be more useful for dealing with actual calls – those you want to take. The call -making feature automatically answers the calls from unknown numbers, and your phone only rings when the caller shares his name and the reason for the connection.
Or what about all the time to wait? Aid to discover automatically, keep music, and can conceal music but keep the call connected. Once a direct agent is available, the phone rings and allows the agent to know that you will be available soon.
Messages updates
The messaging application is likely to be one of the most used apps on iPhone, and for iOS 26 Apple makes it more colored. You can add wallpapers to the chat window, including dynamic backgrounds that display the new liquid glass interface.
In addition to the new appearance, the group’s texts in messages can be integrated to everyone in the group to respond to it – no more passing again to know the restaurant that you suggest at the lunch you missed. Other members of the chat can also add their own elements to an opinion poll.
The most useful is an advantage of detecting random mail texts better and unknown numbers, and therefore the messages that you see in the application are those that you want to see and not those that distract your attention.
SAFARI comes out through him
In the Safari app, liquid glass design floats the tab on the web page (although this looks correct as your thumb will be, so it will be interesting to know if you can move the tape to the top of the screen). While scrolling, the tab strip shrinks.
FaceTime focuses on calls, not controls
FaceTime also gets minimal appearance, with controls of controlling the lower right angle that disappears during the call to get out of the road. On the intended faceime page, your contact stickers are designed, including previous call videos, to make the application more attractive.
FaceTime reduces the tools of one angle.
Last year, iOS 18 brought a number of roads IPHONE experience. You can rearrange the application icons on the home screen with less hardness by the network before, and finally change or remove the application buttons on the lock screen and customize the control center to include any control items you want in order that suits you.
IOS 18 was also presented iphone Confused versions To control the phone when it is out of reach Password application Which collects all your entry and paths in one place.
