There’s a new effect on the block: Glass. Use glass to add a touch of fluidity to your designs. With new properties like light, refraction, frost, and prism, you can refine the parameters of glass to create beautifully translucent design elements. Glass is currently in beta—learn how to apply effects to layers in this help center article.

Keep up with the latest best practices for designing with Liquid Glass in the new iOS and iPadOS 26 UI kit, direct from Apple. The UI kit leverages Figma’s glass effect to model the appearance of Apple Liquid Glass.
