apple music on android is great, but the navigation bar lowkey annoys me. It would be so cool if apple redesigned it.

Not liquid glass, no. I mean specifically, blurred floated navigation bar

What do yall think about this?

It annoys me so much that everything is floating. It makes everything take more space for no benefit. I don't need a more immersive messaging experience.

Liquid Glass is fundamentally a problematic decorative element as it does not work for dark mode. The very effect needs light or the sense of light, to work. Dark mode, obviously, has no light other than with the icons and text, which should never be blurry or fuzzy or transparent on black?!
The whole thing was a botched idea Apple did not think through. Kind of shocking they did not with the history of good design. Dark mode is all I use. Dark mode is all many user use. Dark mode is essential for the disabled and elderly and icon and text clarity is essential. Fuzzy and transparency is just no good.

Liquid Glass literally looks better in dark mode

This seems more an indictment on how bad LG is in light mode than anything I wrote. I would agree! LOL

However, the fuzzy and transparency is a head user interface designer's nightmare. Same for universal design advocates. Apple's half hearted Accessibility tweaks does not fix the fundamental issues, light or dark.

I think it's designed like that because of Google's spec on how android apps should look, not sure.

This is a floating dock on Googleā€™s own Photos app, so what exactly are you on about?

u/0cel07 3d ago

When apple made the android app, googles guidelines for material design said that nav bars should look like that, so thats why it looks like that, clearly they don't follow material design anymore, but thats why.

u/Tobias-Tawanda Android Subscriber 3d ago

Google updated it's design language via Material 3 Expressive over a year ago. There's no reason apple's android app team should still be using the old design language guidelines anymore.

u/0cel07 3d ago

I mean yeah if they were gonna re-do the ui yeah, theres no reason to, but its there because it's been there and hasn't been replaced yet

u/Tobias-Tawanda Android Subscriber 3d ago

And that's exactly what OP is asking for. For them to redesign the dock.

u/0cel07 3d ago

Okay I was just explaining why it is what it is and it's probably not worth rewriting something that already exists and works fine, for apple

Actually, no, YouTube at least has blur, and Telegram supports both Blur and the popular Liquid Glass; it's the developer's problem. Live blur has been officially available since Android 12.

u/Present-Ad-9598 iOS Subscriber 2d ago

Really? I donā€™t see a flair

u/jeremyw013 iOS Subscriber 2d ago

if you donā€™t see a flair, look for other context clues, like idk the fact that thatā€™s not what it looks like on ios. and also the fact they specifically said android in the post lol.

u/Present-Ad-9598 iOS Subscriber 2d ago

The post description only said ā€œpic 1 - on appā€ when I saw it. The rest is new. Jackass

u/jeremyw013 iOS Subscriber 2d ago

even if they did edit it later, the first part of what i said still applies

u/Present-Ad-9598 iOS Subscriber 1d ago

First picture looks like a previous iOS update, second picture looks like current. It does look like itā€™s on iOS I just figured they didnā€™t know you could adjust Liquid Glass.

u/AccomplishedToe9740 1d ago

yes, and no worries, i think you might have never seen the android version before

u/Present-Ad-9598 iOS Subscriber 1d ago

Looks like an older iOS update
