In the fifth beta of iOS 27, Apple continues to make design changes. There are updated Liquid Glass icons for Safari, Siri app, Settings, Remote, App Store, and Preview.
The Safari icon is a brighter blue with more detailed compass lines and arrows, while the Siri icon looks more like the real Siri bubble that appears when Siri is activated. The App Store app icon is more translucent so you can better see each line making up the A, the settings use more translucency, and the preview looks entirely different with a magnifying glass on a colored background. The remote control icon is also more detailed and has been updated with a gray background instead of black.
Some app icons were updated with the initial iOS 27 beta, including Maps, Photos, and Weather, but others retained their iOS 26 appearance.
It’s possible that Apple will overhaul even more icons in upcoming beta releases, as the company has announced that it plans to give the icons an updated layered look to better fit the liquid glass aesthetic.
iOS 27 will be released in about a month.
