Apple is actively promoting the new Liquid Glass design language integrated into iOS 26 by showcasing how third-party developers are incorporating this aesthetic into their applications. On its dedicated developer website, Apple has launched a visual gallery demonstrating the innovative ways that "teams of all sizes" are creating immersive Liquid Glass experiences across the ecosystem.
Apple showcasing a diverse array of applications across the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac platforms. For each featured app, Apple provides compelling comparisons, illustrating the visual transformation from its appearance in iOS 18 to its updated implementation in iOS 26.
The examples prominently feature designs that embrace the Liquid Glass principles, such as applications that have streamlined their interfaces by removing traditional bottom navigation bars in favor of minimal, context-aware options. The gallery highlights innovative uses of Liquid Glass for dynamic sliders, modern buttons, and elegant popovers.
Featured applications demonstrating this new aesthetic include industry leaders and popular tools such as Crumbl, Tide Guide, GrowPal, Lumy, Sky Guide, Linearity Curve Graphic Design, LTK, American Airlines, Lowe's, Photoroom, OmniFocus 4, CNN, Essayist, and Lucid Motors.
The detailed design comparisons are optimally viewed on Apple's official website, and we highly recommend reviewing them if you are interested in seeing how third-party applications are strategically incorporating the Liquid Glass aesthetic into their interfaces.
