Although Apple introduced its new Liquid Glass design language at this year's WWDC, it takes developers some time to gradually implement it into their applications. One of those that has been working intensively on it in recent months is WhatsApp. He has already brought a new interface to iPhone and now the same changes are starting to appear in beta iPad version.

The new look is noticeable at first glance mainly thanks to the semi-transparent elements that seem to float above the application content. The bottom bar is no longer glued to the edge of the display, but gives the impression that it literally floats above the interface. Exactly in the spirit of the Liquid Glass design language, which Apple introduced along with iPadOS 26.
Transparency, animation and smoother control
But the changes are not just cosmetic. The top navigation bar has also been redesigned, which gradually changes its transparency as you scroll through the conversation list, allowing the content to stand out more. The same style has also been given to the buttons or context menus, which now use a glass effect complemented by subtle animations with each click. The result is a more modern and lively environment that fits very well with the appearance of new versions of systems from Appyou.

Liquid Glass is really cool to me. iPhone I've liked it for a long time and I believe it will look great on the iPad. WhatsApp just as great.
How about in recent years? WhatsApp It's been on the iPad since last year.
No one denies it, but Liquid Glass doesn't have a full version.
