androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 04:16:53

The frequent contacts section no longer has a place in this redesign. Google is testing a significant change to its dialer app, and it could mark the end of a familiar tab. On at least some Pixel 8 Pro devices running version 178.0.765584175-publicbeta of the Google Phone app, the standalone Favorites tab has been removed. Ins

Here’s a closer look at the Liquid Glass design in iOS 26 on the iPhone

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-09-18 21:09:20

Apple said yesterday that iOS 26 was its biggest update to the look and feel of the iPhone since iOS 7, with the same visual design language used across all the company’s devices. It’s certainly a pretty dramatic change, depending on how far you want to take the look. For example, in addition to the ‘tint’ options we got in iOS 18, there’s a new ‘Clear’ option to make all our app icons monochrome glass – which you can see above … Like tint, I have to wonder how many people will actually use it

I’ve always thought of that as being largely driven by unfamiliarity — this syntax is new, unfamiliar, and thus bad.

What if our universe emerged from something else – something more familiar and radical at the same time?
