Telegram has up to date the Android app with iOS 26’s new Liquid Glass design language.
That is now obtainable on Telegram for Android model 12.4.0 which has been rolled out on the Play Retailer if you happen to haven’t up to date but. The brand new design follows Apple’s new Liquid Glass aesthetic which was launched final 12 months as a visible replace on iOS.
The most important change you’ll discover is the 4 tabbed dock which is persistent on the backside which is straight from the iOS sister app. The tabs are for Chats, Contacts, Settings and Profile. It is a change from the outdated model which featured a hamburger menu on the left to entry varied options. The remainder of the options are discovered on the highest proper nook beneath the three vertical dot overflow menu. If you’re on gentle mode, you may see a faint shadow as you progress between tabs, which is harking back to the Liquid Glass results on iOS.
I’ve seen some adverse reactions in direction of the brand new change, which is predicted as a consequence of human nature. Nonetheless, when you’ve got used iOS earlier than, and particularly iOS 26 with the brand new Liquid Glass person interface, you’ll really feel proper at residence. Over time, this can really feel pure as you turn between ecosystems, however I anticipate this to not be highly regarded in the meanwhile.
