You need a dedicated app to customize your home screen in style! This is the definitive version of the dress-up app that has all the dress-up materials!
Apple is rolling out a brand-new design called Liquid Glass with iOS 26, set to release on September 16th, 2025. This glossy, transparent style completely refreshes the iPhone experience. Here’s a deep dive into Liquid Glass and how it transforms your lock screen, home screen, Control Center, and even Apple’s own apps.
Apple describes it like this on their official site:
In short, it’s a transparent, glass-like design that gives your iPhone a sleek, fluid, and modern look. From wallpapers to widgets, everything feels smoother and more dynamic.
The lock screen clock now comes with a Glass option alongside the traditional Solid style. The Glass look gives the clock a frosted, semi-transparent finish, blending beautifully with wallpapers.
How to switch to the Glass clock in iOS 26:
Notifications now appear with a see-through background, letting your wallpaper subtly show through for a clean, modern look.
With iOS 26, app icons and widgets are redesigned with a glossy, transparent style. Even the app library background is see-through, making your home screen look more fluid and cohesive.
You now get four appearance modes: Default, Dark, Clear, and Tint.
The Control Center also adopts the Liquid Glass look, adding smooth semi-transparency to toggles and menus.
It’s not just the system UI—native Apple apps like Safari, Camera, Photos, and the App Store all adopt the new transparent design.
This creates a consistent, transparent iOS design across the system.
The Liquid Glass design in iOS 26 brings a glossy, transparent, and futuristic look to the entire iPhone interface—from the lock screen to Apple’s core apps.
With iOS 26 releasing in September 2025, users can look forward to one of the most exciting iOS design changes in years.
