WhatsApp is testing a revamped voice player interface for iOS that incorporates Liquid Glass elements. According to 9to5Mac, the latest beta build includes references to a new playback bar with translucent, floating controls designed to integrate seamlessly with the app's updated Liquid Glass aesthetic. This feature aims to provide clearer, more consistent voice message playback without disrupting the chat interface.

Currently, the beta version displays a basic banner with controls when a voice note is played and the user exits the chat, but the new design promises a more refined experience. While the specific update isn't yet available to testers, its inclusion in the beta suggests Meta is refining the Liquid Glass overhaul before a broader rollout. The feature's development signals ongoing efforts to make WhatsApp feel more natively integrated with iOS 26.
