Lock Screen The Liquid Glass effect on the Lock Screen has been updated. The clock is more transparent than it was before, though it still has a frosted glass look. iOS 26 beta 6 on left, beta 5 on right When entering a passcode, the passcode buttons are now more translucent than before. Navigation Bars Navigation bars in apps have been slightly updated to enhance translucency without impacting readability. Beta 6 on left, beta 5 on right In some places, there's more translucency, but in others, the background is more opaque so that text can still be read even if the background is busy. Beta 6 on left, beta 5 on right App Animations Apple changed the animation for opening and closing apps, and it's much faster than before so apps open more quickly. The animation has a very slight bounce to it, matching the bounce that's been added to the Lock Screen and Control Center. iOS 26 beta 6 brings new animations when opening and closing apps pic.twitter.com/u2BiXZDVTg— Aaron (@aaronp613) August 11, 2025 Camera Apple removed the toggle in the Camera app that allowed users to activate Classic Mode. Classic Mode reversed the scroll direction when switching from mode to mode in the app. Now Classic Mode is the default, and there's no option to return to the animation from earlier betas. The toggle was initially added in beta 5. Introductory Video When you update to iOS 26, there's now an introductory video that walks you through the Liquid Glass design changes. iOS 26 beta 6 adds a new onboarding video.

When scanning a document, the location of the buttons has also changed, and they're at the bottom of the interface rather than the top.
