Apple is continuing to refine the look of iOS 27 with the fifth beta, which brings updated Liquid Glass icons to several built-in apps, including Safari, Siri, Settings, Remote, App Store, and Preview.
Safari now uses a brighter blue icon with more detailed compass lines, while the Siri icon looks closer to the colorful bubble that appears when Siri is active. Apple has also increased translucency in the App Store and Settings icons, giving them a more layered appearance.

Preview receives one of the biggest changes, with a new design showing a loupe over a colorful background, while the Remote app now uses a gray background and includes more detail than before.
Apple already updated icons for Maps, Photos, and Weather in the first iOS 27 beta, while several other apps kept their iOS 26 designs. More icon changes are expected before iOS 27 arrives next month.
