WhatsApp may bring iOS 26’s Liquid Glass design to the one screen you actually use most
WhatsApp is working on bringing its Liquid Glass redesign to the chat interface on iOS 26, according to WABetaInfo. The update will turn the bottom chat bar into a floating, frosted element and make the navigation bar transparent with a subtle fade effect. The feature is still deep in development—not even available to beta testers yet—as Meta holds off on a broader rollout until the app feels fully consistent.
