  • Apple adds a tinted Liquid Glass option across iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, and macOS 26.1
    October 21, 2025, 10:56 PM EDT. Apple is adding a tinted Liquid Glass option across betas of iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, and macOS 26.1, giving users a choice between the existing clear and new tinted glass interfaces. The Liquid Glass design uses translucent layers and light reflections to adapt to context, wallpaper, and ambient lighting. The new tinted mode boosts opacity and contrast for better readability, addressing early accessibility concerns about text overlays. The option lives under Display & Brightness on iOS/iPadOS and under Appearance in System Settings on macOS, and applies system-wide to Apple apps and third-party apps that use Liquid Glass.

  • Android's native flashlight brightness slider arrives in Quick Settings with flashlight-style UI (Canary)
    October 21, 2025, 10:46 PM EDT. An upcoming Android update will bring a native flashlight brightness slider to the Quick Settings on Pixel phones. The latest Android Canary release introduces a new visual design that mirrors a real flashlight: a vertical slider from off to full brightness, with an expanding beam arc as you drag. Functionality remains unchanged-the change is purely UI. This might not arrive in the stable release until the Android 16 QPR3 update, expected in March next year; it's not in the Android 16 QPR2 beta yet. For users who currently rely on third-party apps to adjust flashlight brightness, this native control should simplify tuning on supported devices.
  • Android copies iPhone-like flashlight brightness slider in Canary builds
    October 21, 2025, 10:44 PM EDT. Google is adding a system-level LED brightness/flashlight slider to Android, evolving from a simple Quick Settings bar to a stylized flashlight UI. The tweak appears in the latest 2510 Canary channel build after earlier previews. Canary serves as a pre-release testing ground ahead of public beta. The feature mirrors a long-standing iPhone approach; when iOS 18 introduced its redesigned flashlight control, it impressed with its smooth animations and granular control. For now, Android's implementation targets brightness only, with no beam-width control yet. Google has not announced a timeline, and rollout could arrive with Android 16 QPR3, possibly around March 2026 at the earliest.
