Refined and Reflective: Glass 5.0

New design. Same clear focus.Announcements

Glass 5.0 on iOS and iPadOS is here, and with it comes our most visually refined update yet.

We’ve updated our design to support Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language introduced in iOS 26. I mean we’re called Glass, how could we not?

Thankfully, our existing navigation patterns already felt right at home. But adding translucency and texture to the interface brings a welcome sense of depth, helping us feel even more native on Apple’s platform, all while keeping your photography front and center.

If you’re running iOS 26, you should notice the change right away. If not, now’s a great time to update both iOS and the Glass app to enjoy the full experience.

We’ve always designed Glass to stay out of your way, and this update lets your work shine through more clearly than ever.

Huge thanks to João Dordio, who poured countless hours into refining the transitions, materials, and interactions that make this update feel seamless.
