WhatsApp’s latest iOS update, version 25.28.75, is now available on the App Store, introducing Apple’s sleek new Liquid Glass design language for iOS 26 to select users.

WABetaInfo:

With the latest update, some users, including beta testers, can explore the first tangible elements of WhatsApp’s Liquid Glass redesign. Liquid Glass brings subtle transparency and layering effects that make components such as the tab bar appear to float above the main content, giving a sense of depth and dimension while maintaining clarity. The redesigned interface also applies adaptive translucency and background-reflecting effects, enhancing visual cohesion and giving the app a more modern look.

The tab bar in WhatsApp’s Liquid Glass interface has been completely redesigned to reflect the new iOS 26 visual language. It features a semi-translucent surface that subtly blurs the content behind it, creating a sense of depth and layering. Each icon responds with smooth animations when tapped, making navigation feel fluid and more interactive. This updated bar enhances the app’s modern aesthetic while maintaining clarity and usability across different chat screens.

With the introduction of Liquid Glass in iOS 26, WhatsApp has finally adopted the system’s native keyboard, featuring a translucent, reflective design that integrates seamlessly with the interface. This keyboard provides a visually consistent experience, with keys that subtly interact with the background content to create a sense of depth. Additionally, the keyboard continues to adapt to the chat background, but with Liquid Glass support, this effect is now more intensified, as the translucent design interacts dynamically with the underlying content.
