Apple has refreshed all system icons on iOS for the first time in more than 10 years since iOS 7. The new “Liquid Glass” design philosophy creates aesthetic consistency between iOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS.
All icons use a squircle shape with larger corner radius, creating a soft and consistent feel. The Clock app icon is most noticeable when it switches from a round face to a signature square.
Popular apps like Photos, Notes, Contacts, Mail, and Messages are also redrawn in more detail. Apple also provides detailed alignment guidelines, ensuring a harmonious visual proportion between the elements in the icon. Dynamic effects are no longer the focus, instead they are more subtle, elegant and recognizable.
The new icon set will be officially released with iOS 26 this fall. Dear readers, please watch more videos : Top 10 'Scary' Technology Devices of the Future.
