Apple’s iOS 26 introduces a visually striking glassmorphic design dubbed Liquid Glass, which enhances aesthetics but compromises usability. Users face challenges with transparency obscuring text, distracting animations, crowded controls, and a lack of predictability in navigation, ultimately prioritizing style over functionality.

Telegram has implemented a new design resembling liquid glass, enhancing the app's aesthetic appeal without requiring an update to iOS 26. This design change aims to improve user experience and make the app more visually engaging.
