WhatsApp is the latest platform testing its own variations with the recent WhatsApp iOS beta version with select users, which should be rolling out for everyone once the bugs are fixed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Apple has offered the iOS 26 SDK which makes it easy for apps like WhatsApp and Instagram to adopt the new design interface and seamlessly fit into the new iOS 26 version for iPhone users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Liquid Glass Update For WhatsApp Is Here<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The iOS 26 update has one of the biggest UI changes for iPhone users in the form of the liquid glass interface, which as the name suggests, has a glass-like effect while you scroll across the screen and icons. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The details about the new iOS 26 update for WhatsApp comes via reliable platform <em>WaBetaInfo<\/em> this week, where the tipster also shares the first look of the new WhatsApp version that iPhone 17 and other users will be getting soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-iOS-Liquid-Glass-update-2025-10-526dc2613b6fc673820c80c9dfd4c343.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9623960\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">WhatsApp iOS 26 update with Liquid Glass design now testing<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The report says the iOS 26 update for WhatsApp adds dynamic transparency, depth effects and fluid interactions which aligns with the philosophy of Liquid Glass on iPhones. The tipster points out the new design makes the tab bar appear like floating above the main content, and the background reflects to mirror the glass-like effect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The release is basically testing the new design changes, one of the biggest on WhatsApp for iPhones, so we expect the platform to ease into the full rollout which should happen in the next few weeks or months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">iOS 26 update is gradually making its way to iPhone users, including the new 17 series and iPhone Air models. But some of them haven\u2019t warmed up to the new changes or liked it altogether. Apple seems to have heard those concerns and decided to give them more flexibility to reduce the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/not-liking-ios-26-liquid-glass-design-heres-how-you-can-change-its-look-ws-l-9576775.html\">transparency levels of the Liquid glass effect<\/a> or even disable it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>How To Disable iOS 26 Liquid Glass Design On Your iPhone<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Open Settings in your iPhone<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Tap on Accessibility<\/li>\n<li>Scroll down to Display &amp; Text Size<\/li>\n<li>Enable the toggle for Reduce Transparency<\/li>\n<li>You can even Enable Increase Contrast for better readability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Now the iOS 26 Liquid Glass effect will be reduced.
