The New York Times app adopts Liquid Glass on iPhone

The official New York Times app on iOS now supports Apple’s Liquid Glass design as of its latest update.

Liquid Glass debuts in the official NYTimes iOS app

Apple’s Liquid Glass design launched last fall in iOS 26, and following the initial wave of support, popular apps continue to slowly roll out support for it.

The latest is the official NYTimes app, which was updated yesterday with a refreshed design.

Liquid Glass is now used for the app’s main navigation tab bar, plus the mini audio player—and little else.

This sort of minimalist Liquid Glass adoption has become pretty standard with major iOS apps that have their own distinct visual identity already, and don’t want to overhaul much of the interface.

Still, it’s good to see another popular app adopt Liquid Glass on iPhone.

Hopefully, even more apps will be motivated to support the design in the lead-up to iOS 27’s launch.
