Apple Redesigns Siri Icon with Liquid Glass in iOS 27
Apple is giving its apps a new look on iPhones.
The company redesigned the picture, or icon, for Siri in the newest test version of its software, iOS 27.
The new icon looks like clear, shiny glass, similar to the moving glow you see when you talk to Siri.
It is part of a design style Apple calls 'Liquid Glass.'
Siri is also becoming its own app in iOS 27 instead of just an overlay.
This app will let people see their past conversations with Siri, keep their favorite prompts, and manage smart features called Apple Intelligence.
Apple also updated the icons for Safari, Settings, App Store, Preview, and Remote.
The new look is part of Apple's plan to make its software feel more glass-like and to focus more on artificial intelligence.
The changes are still being tested in the fifth developer beta.
Apple redesigned the standalone Siri app icon in the fifth developer beta of iOS 27 with a fluid, transparent 'Liquid Glass' appearance.
The new icon uses layered, high-transparency visual effects that mirror the dynamic Siri glow users see when invoking the AI assistant.
Siri is becoming a dedicated app in iOS 27, offering a dashboard for cross-device conversation history, pinned prompts, and Apple Intelligence workflows.
The redesign is part of Apple's rollout of its 'Liquid Glass' design aesthetic across system applications as it transitions toward an AI-focused ecosystem.
Other icons updated in the beta include Preview, Safari, Settings, App Store, and Remote.
