Google is preparing a Liquid Glass redesign for YouTube and YouTube Music
YouTube users on iOS may not have to wait long for Liquid Glass, with Live Activities also on the horizon.
Google is reportedly set to introduce a redesigned look for its YouTube and YouTube Music applications, according to a leak. The update will likely feature a design based on Apple's Liquid Glass UI, which integrates seamlessly with iOS Live Activities. These Live Activities allow for real-time updates within the Dynamic Island interface.
Google has previously incorporated elements of Liquid Glass into some of its apps, although many popular iOS apps have yet to receive this treatment. While opinions on Apple's Liquid Glass design have been mixed, it remains a core element of the iOS design language and is expected to continue being adopted by third-party apps. A screenshot shared by MacRumors analyst Aaron Perris on X shows potential feature flags for the Liquid Glass update.
Although it's uncertain which specific app the screenshot originates from, Perris confirms that both Google's YouTube and YouTube Music apps will likely receive the UI overhaul to align with the iOS design language.
