Liquid Glass App Redesign for #1 AI Photo Generator on the UAE App Store
Adding Depth and Motion to AI Creativity
ImgAI is a leading AI photo generator app, ranked #25 in the UAE App Store and featured multiple times by Apple editors. With iOS 26’s Liquid Glass, I explored how native depth, blur, and motion effects could transform static AI outputs into a more dynamic, immersive user experience.
Flat Interfaces Limit Creative Engagement
AI images in earlier versions of ImgAI felt static and disconnected from the interface. The challenge was to integrate a system-level effect that could:
Add visual depth and richness
Keep performance smooth
Stay consistent with iOS native design patterns
How might we use Liquid Glass to make ImgAI feel more alive and immersive without overwhelming users?

SOLUTIONS
Applying Liquid Glass for Immersive Feedback
I redesigned the interface using Liquid Glass to create depth and subtle motion:
Blurred background layers to separate controls from images
Dynamic glass surfaces that respond to user input
Seamless integration with existing design system for consistency
Liquid Glass applied to home/generation screen
Liquid Glass modal for image details
Motion interaction demo

This project gave me hands-on insight into how depth and motion can transform flat AI interfaces into immersive experiences. I learned how to apply Apple’s Liquid Glass patterns while balancing delight with smooth performance. Adopting this technology early ensured consistency with iOS 26 and positioned ImgAI as an innovator in AI creativity.
