A nova versão, 26.27.73, além de contar com Liquid Glass, inclui uma nova barra lateral com textos que descrevem os ícones, abandonando a abordagem minimalista encontrada até então na versão de computador do mensageiro da Meta, e uma seção dedicada às Comunidades, que antes ficavam espalhadas pelo histórico de conversas do aplicativo.
Outra novidade é a adição do suporte às conversas trancadas, atualmente restritas aos iPhones e iPads. O acesso ao recurso no macOS, aos moldes da exigência do Face ID nos dispositivos móveis, também solicitará algum meio de autenticação para garantir a camada adicional de proteção, carro-chefe da funcionalidade.
Com essa atualização chegando para os usuários finais de maneira gradual nas próximas semanas, a disponibilização ampla da versão de Mac do WhatsApp (incluindo a versão da Mac App Store) conclui um trabalho de quase um ano unificando a linguagem visual do app no iOS, iPadOS e macOS.

9. Intel T2 Firmware Update
The System Firmware Version for your Mac (2019-2020)
Apple’s pattern of updates is often described as two beats, maybe like the lub-dub sound of your heart: a year of big changes, followed by a year of tweaks that feature just a couple of marquee improvements.1 The 27 series of operating systems marks a big dub year, but there’s a backbeat to the rhythm, too, as Apple retreats from what most of us believe were overreaches in the interface department.
Liquid Glass was not beloved. I didn’t mind it so much on the Mac, and I found some iPhone and iPad improvements worthwhile, and the rest tolerable. Some people hated it. John Gruber notably decided to hold off on updating his primary Mac to Tahoe. Apple ironically highlighted a slider in its WWDC keynote that one could describe as “mostly forget about Liquid Glass,” with an option from “full-on, nobody wanted this” to “as close to zero as we can go without breaking the interface.” Good.
No (Tahoe, button, left). Yes (Golden Gate, slider, right).
Stacey Ford, Apple’s Vice President of OS Program Management, called out a broad mandate in the keynote. “We scoured every part of the OS for opportunities to refine our systems from the UI to the foundations,” she said. “Nothing was off limits, no enhancement too small.” In other words, there are no sacred cows leftover from the design team that left, and maybe Ford and her group hate the same things that we do, and they’ve been given the authority to fix them.
Maybe as a consequence, Liquid Glass will improve legibility through several changes, which you’ll see even with the slider set to zero. The layers of Liquid Glass elements will now be rendered so that the diffusion of the underlying material won’t interfere as much with legibility. When content moves beneath a floating bar, the bar will now—shocking!—float on top and increase contrast to keep its contents comprehensible, too. Edges will now be darker, and icons sharper.
Gruber despised a secondary macOS change perhaps as much as Liquid Glass: the tiny icons on drop-down menus that were unhelpful, patronizing, and inconsistent across apps. Those are effectively gone now, with new guidance from Apple that is nearly contemptuous of the one-year glitch in the approach.
No (left, Tahoe). Yes (right, Golden Gate).
A lot of digital ink was also spilled about corner radii, dragging, and consistency with macOS 26. So much so that Apple’s Shubham Kedia—Director, Human Interface—said in the keynote this remarkable phrase: “…every window on macOS now has the same tighter corner radius ensuring greater consistency across all of your apps, even if they haven’t been updated.” It’s the weirdest time in the company’s history that an Apple leader had to utter those words, but there you go, and there was mostly rejoicing. The lower-right-corner drag area appears fixed, too, in my testing with the first beta.
Yes (rounded corners that have consistent radii in Golden Gate). (Source: Apple)
Tahoe’s other missteps that will be drawn back to the norm include ending the weirdly inset sidebars, such as in Photos, which now extend to the edges; the mouse-over hand cursor has mostly reverted to pre-Tahoe format, with slightly different finger positions, and indications that it’s a Mickey Mouse-style glove; and even the default wallpaper has rolled backwards, with iOS, iPadOS, and macOS all having access to the same set, if that’s the kind of thing you like.
No (Tahoe, inset sidebar in Photos).Yes (Golden Gate, flush sidebar in Photos).
More generally, I heard grumblings and read long essays about the instability people experienced with Tahoe, and still do, even though we’re at version 26.5. Often, the “tweak” year involves thousands of under-the-hood fixes. Apple was more frank about making things better this year than it has been since, I want to say, the year after Yosemite.2 It would be like Microsoft making fun of blue screens of death.
Apple’s Ford said, “We made things faster, smoother, even easier to use, and we took care of a bunch of things you’ve been asking about.” She later described speed improvements in iOS and iPadOS app launch times, a fix for a long-running Wi-Fi/cellular poor handoff issue, a complete overhaul of Spotlight, and much more. She noted, “We’ve all had that moment where you search for something you know is there, but it just won’t show up. So on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, we’ve rebuilt the foundation of search that powers Spotlight, Photos, and Mail.” That is a heck of an admission of the truth we experience day to day—almost un-Apple-like.
There’s more I won’t enumerate in detail, such as the “OS improvements” section that appears on Apple’s sites for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, in which Apple confesses to imperfections and proclaims it has solved them. Because all iPhones, most iPads,3 a few Apple Watches,4 and all M-series Macs (but no Intel Macs) that could run version 26 can run 27, no harm, no foul, right? Just took a year.
These rollbacks and improvements may finally push people like Gruber to, er, cross the Golden Gate in a way that they could never bring themselves to plunge into the imperfect, quirky, and irritating waters of Tahoe. Because of how Apple pushes users to upgrade, I expect that iPhone and iPad users may find more relief, as they’re running the current release!

My summer’s work will include a lot of reading to write updates for around 10 Take Control Books titles. I’ll also be working to keep a new micro-site, currently called Apple Specs, up to date, where you can look up operating system and hardware features to figure out which devices and releases support them. I welcome feedback via a link on each page of the site.
This year, those are Siri AI, Apple Intelligence integration more generally—and maybe child-related safety and app-usage tools? ↩
The 8th-generation iPad was introduced in 2020, so it’s a bit long in the tooth by some standards. However, I’d like to understand why it could run iPadOS 26 and not 27. For a complete list of iPad compatibility, see Apple’s iPadOS 27 preview page. ↩
Discussed in many forums, this is the biggest blow. watchOS 27 supports only Series 9 and later, SE 3 and later, and Ultra 2 and later. This feels like a big mistake, particularly if Apple winds up with any requirements for having the 27 releases on all devices on an Apple Account, as it has for certain feature rollouts in the pass, usually for security. ↩
