Liquid Glass Expansion on iOS
WhatsApp is working to integrate its Liquid Glass interface design into additional elements of its iOS application. This follows an initial broader rollout of the design earlier this year, which had been in testing for over six months.
New Interface Elements Affected
According to WABetaInfo, the latest iOS beta indicates that the Liquid Glass design will be applied to the drawing editor and the video player's progress bar. The drawing editor allows users to annotate photos, videos, and GIFs, with buttons for text, drawing, and stickers. The video player's progress bar, which shows playback position, will also be updated to match the Liquid Glass style.
Development Status and Broader Context
These specific Liquid Glass updates are currently in development and are not yet available for beta testing. This ongoing work is part of Meta's broader initiative to adopt the Liquid Glass visual language across its platforms, including iOS, macOS, and iPadOS, despite some users still awaiting the initial Liquid Glass rollout on their iPhones.
