Transform your iPhone's appearance with iOS 26's new transparent icon design using simple homescreen customization settings.

Preview the exciting changes coming to your iPhone this fall, including a new aesthetic called Liquid Glass, with the new public beta.

Looking at the home screens, the primary difference you'll find is that in iOS 26 the background of the dock and the search option that sits in between the dock and the home screen icons are more transparent and have a sheen to the edges, whereas in iOS 18, these are slightly darker.
