Ever since Apple dropped iOS 26 with its new Liquid Glass design language, developers have been scrambling to bring their apps up to speed. Some third-party apps nailed the look right out of the gate, while others, like Instagram, still feel a bit rough around the edges.

Roughly a week ago, we highlighted that Brave was working on Liquid Glass for its iPhone app. And it looks like that work has finished, since the latest Brave update, which is rolling out as version 1.93, finally brings the visual refresh.

We spotted the update show up on the App Store just a few hours ago. The changelog doesn’t explicitly mention “Liquid Glass”; however, it does say that the update brings a “refreshed UI.” After downloading the update, we immediately noticed the Liquid Glass elements baked into the UI.

The first area where we noticed it was in the tab switcher page, where the “Search Tabs” bar has the new design language. The search bar has the Liquid Glass design language, while the buttons to switch from private to regular tabs are also in a pill-shaped container now.

Slipping into the settings menu reveals that the option toggles have also picked up the new Liquid Glass buttons and a more rounded design language.

Then there is the main three-dots menu sheet, which has been redesigned to look like it is floating over the page in line with modern iOS design choices, even though the menu panel itself does not have translucent glass styling just yet.

That said, it still feels like this is a partial implementation of Liquid Glass, since there are plenty of remaining spots where the design team could bring more of the Liquid Glass goodness.

The address bar remains pretty much unchanged for now, which feels like a missed opportunity given how slick translucent address bars look on competing browsers. Having a full Liquid Glass address bar introduced in a future build would be a very cool touch to complete the whole look.

Apart from the UI refresh, the changelog also mentions “Shred will now remove recent searches that are connected to a quick search on a shredded site.” This follows the previous v1.92 update that brought some improvements to the Shred feature.

Beyond these visual overhauls, the team has had to navigate platform hurdles, such as when Apple forced Brave to drop offline downloads from its built-in playlist feature.

So despite the hiccups, Brave is still an excellent browser choice on iOS and even came up on top in a recent privacy test. More on that here.
