Telegram Unveils Liquid Glass Redesign for Android Users
Telegram has officially launched a significant update for its Android app, now featuring a Liquid Glass redesign. This major change is part of the Telegram for Android v12.4.0 update, which is now available through the Play Store.
Overview of the Liquid Glass Redesign
The redesign builds on earlier updates from October and November 2025, enhancing the overall user interface. Users will notice a range of new Liquid Glass design elements integrated throughout the app.
New Features in Version 12.4.0
- Introduction of a four-tab bottom navigation bar.
- Tabs include Chats, Contacts, Settings, and Profile.
- Enhanced transparent UI components, especially in light mode.
- The removal of the traditional hamburger menu.
- Access to group creation and other features now through a three-dot overflow menu.
This update draws inspiration from Apple’s design language, showcasing a clearer emphasis on transparency. The new tabs remain consistently visible as users navigate through different sections of the app.
User Reactions
Despite the modernized aesthetic, user reactions to the Liquid Glass redesign have been mixed. Some users appreciate the fresh look, while others have expressed concerns about usability.
Telegram had previously introduced full support for the Liquid Glass design on iOS in early January. The recent Android update reflects its commitment to creating a cohesive experience across platforms.
This redesign marks a notable shift in Telegram’s interface strategy. As the app continues to evolve, users are encouraged to explore the new features and share their feedback.
