FAQPage Schema
How do I use the SwiftUI Liquid Glass API in iOS 26?▼

The SwiftUI Liquid Glass API provides glassEffect, GlassEffectContainer, and glassEffectID modifiers to build morphing glass UI elements on iOS 26+ and other Apple platforms.

What is GlassEffectContainer used for in SwiftUI?▼

GlassEffectContainer groups multiple glassEffect shapes in SwiftUI, allowing them to morph together seamlessly. It pairs with individual glass elements to create polished, fluid UI components.

Can I apply Liquid Glass effects to SwiftUI toolbars and navigation?▼

Yes, Liquid Glass effects can be applied to SwiftUI toolbars, navigation bars, and custom views. The reference provides design guidelines for implementing glass elements across these interface components.

How do I start building a morphing glass UI in SwiftUI?▼

To build a morphing glass UI, apply glassEffect to a SwiftUI view, then wrap multiple glass elements in a GlassEffectContainer. This combination enables smooth shape morphing across grouped components.

Does Liquid Glass work on platforms other than iOS?▼

Yes, the Liquid Glass API is applicable to SwiftUI development across all Apple platforms, not limited to iOS 26+. The reference covers implementation patterns for views, containers, and navigation universally.

What are the limitations of using glassEffect in SwiftUI?▼

The glassEffect modifier is designed for iOS 26+ and requires pairing with GlassEffectContainer for morphing multiple shapes. It is specific to SwiftUI and does not apply to UIKit or other frameworks.
