Meta has started releasing the Liquid Glass skin to a larger number of WhatsApp users. Depois has been with limited access for months, the change in the interface gains scale and reaches more people starting this week. The new version 26.19.75 of the application, released today, marks the moment in which this expansion intensifies.
The Liquid Glass design was announced in August 2025, but remained restricted to a few users for almost a year. As of now, reports on social media confirm that the change is coming to more devices, not just the Brasil. Meta activates the new feature via the server, which means that updating to the latest version is not always enough to receive it.
Rollout extended with version 26.19.75
The release of update 26.19.75 coincides with Meta accelerating the rollout of Liquid Glass. Usuários that were already running previous versions start to receive the renewed interface, even without updating the app. The company had already signaled this intention last week, when 9to5Mac reported the first steps of the expansion.
The server-side enablement strategy allows Meta to control the pace of change and monitor for potential issues. Dessa way, the company avoids generating a massive impact all at once. Muitos Brazilian users, however, still have the old look, despite running recent versions of the application.

Características visuals of the new design
The Liquid Glass skin brings very notable visual changes:
- Interface with transparency and frosted glass effect
- Ícones redesigned with cleaner lines
- Modernized Color Paleta
- Efeitos smoothed animation
- Melhor contrast in light and dark themes
- Diálogos and menus with new visual style
The MacMagazine team confirmed that at least two members are already receiving the new look today. One of them was running the previous version and received the change activated by Meta, without the need to update manually.
Why the expansion took so long
The delay in expanding Liquid Glass reveals the Meta testing strategy with new features. By keeping the novelty restricted, the company is able to collect data on usability, performance and feedback from early users. Apenas after validating stability, Meta expands access.
Esse model significantly reduced widespread bug reports. Quando the change was expanded, many minor issues had already been fixed. User segmentation also allows Meta to adjust the design as needed before reaching full base.
Distribuição global and Brazilian
Expansion is not limited to Brasil. Usuários in different countries confirm receiving the new look in recent weeks. Meta follows its own calendar for different regions, but the current trend points to an acceleration in the global rollout. Mensagens on social media and technology forums document the arrival of Liquid Glass in multiple languages.
In the specific case of Brasil, arrival was slower compared to other markets. Mesmo after the announcement in August 2025, few people around here had received the change until last month. Agora, with version 26.19.75 and server-accelerated activation, this scenario changes quickly.
What to expect in the coming weeks
Meta should continue to activate Liquid Glass for new users gradually. Não there is an official forecast for when all users will receive the change, but, considering the current pace, the majority should have access in the coming months. Alguns users can receive the news without doing anything other than waiting.
Quem hasn’t received the skin yet so there’s no need to worry. Manually updating your app to the latest version doesn’t guarantee an immediate change, but it makes it more likely. Meta continues to activate the feature in a staggered manner as its infrastructure allows.
