Apple launches iOS 26 beta 4 for developers with updates to Liquid Glass and AI notification summaries, ahead. A public beta is expected later this week.

After trading some of the ‘liquid’ in iOS 26 beta 3 for a more ‘frosted’ look, Liquid Glass appears back in full force in beta 4.

Apple tones down its new Liquid Glass aesthetic in iOS 26 beta 3, making interface elements more readable after user complaints.

The Wallet app is already home for using Apple Card, Apple Pay, electronic car keys and for storing tickets and passes. In iOS 26, you can create a new Digital ID that acts like a passport for age and identity verification (though it does not replace a physical passport) for domestic travel for TSA screening at airports.

When Apple unveiled iOS 26 at its WWDC 2025 event in June, the thing on everyone’s lips was the Liquid Glass redesign. This has brought glassy effects to Apple’s operating systems and has divided opinion in a big way, but the latest iOS 26 beta looks to have dialed it back significantly – and I’m glad to see it.

Launch the Settings app, and tap on the Apps section at the bottom of the main screen. On the next screen, find Safari and select it. Go to the Tabs section in Safari's settings and pick the layout you want. You have three choices: Compact, Bottom and Top.

Ahead of the launch of iOS 26 this fall, Figma introduced a new Glass effect playground to give developers a leg up on Liquid Glass apps.
