A writer at Android Authority says Android phones are borrowing too much from the iPhone, and he is not happy about it. The piece, titled "The iOS-ification of Android is ruining my favorite phones," says Android's "obsession with copying Liquid Glass" is starting to get on his nerves.
What Liquid Glass is
Liquid Glass is Apple's new look for its software. It uses see-through, glassy menus and buttons. The writer says Android makers are now copying that style across their phones.
Why the complaint stands out
The writer is an Android fan. He says he loves Android. His complaint is about a design trend, not a case against the whole platform. That makes it a useful signal of how some longtime users feel.
Who it affects
Anyone who picked Android for its look and feel could notice this first. Your next phone, or your next software update, may feel more like an iPhone than you expect.
What is not known yet
The full article was not available for this report. That means it is unclear which phone brands the writer has in mind, which phones are affected, or when changes would reach your device. It is also unclear whether you will be able to switch the new look off. Check each maker's update notes before you install a big update.
The takeawayIf you like Android's own style, watch for glassy, iPhone-like designs in new phones and updates before you buy or install.
