What is Liquid Glass?
Liquid Glass is Apple's latest UI design system across its platforms. It replaces traditional flat or neomorphic styles with a responsive "glass-like" interface that enhances depth and fluidity.
Optical Glass Effect
- The Liquid Glass design behaves like optical glass—light refracts, reflects, and interacts with system content, creating a dynamic user experience.
Refined Transparency
- Liquid Glass brings refined transparency, spatial layering, and intelligent response into a seamless visual experience.
Spatial Layering
- A visual bridge between flat UIs and rich 3D spatial interfaces, preparing users for the future of ambient computing.
Why Apple Created Liquid Glass
As Apple shifts toward spatial computing and immersive interfaces, it needed a unified visual system both futuristic and familiar. Liquid Glass design language is the answer.
For Apple
Liquid Glass unifies the experience across platforms with its glass-inspired visual metaphor, preparing users for the future of ambient spatial computing.
For Users
Liquid Glass creates intuitive interfaces where translucent layers naturally highlight content, offering consistent interactions and tangible depth across the Apple ecosystem.
What It Looks Like
Liquid Glass introduces a visual language where UI elements embody the optical qualities of glass and fluidity of liquid, creating an immersive digital experience.
Glass Optics & Light Response
- Liquid Glass interfaces emulate physical glass qualities with subtle refraction and gloss, while responding intelligently to ambient light to create visual hierarchy and depth, making important information naturally stand out.
Immersive Blur
- In the Liquid Glass system, backgrounds gently blur to focus attention, delivering a comfortable visual experience that enhances content without harsh contrasts or distractions.
Fluid Interactions
- Liquid Glass transitions and interactions feel organic and fluid, mimicking natural liquid movement across all touch points. This creates an intuitive, responsive, and delightful user experience that feels alive.
