LiquidGlassView doesn't seem to work on Android and throws warning

[DragomirAndrei19]

Describe the bug
I cloned the repo and ran the example. According to the documentation video, even on Android, LiquidGlassView should fall back to some advanced blur the mimics it.

In reality I get mostly opaque or classic blur views plus a warning

Screen.Recording.2026-05-05.at.19.20.31.mp4

WARN LiquidGlassView is only supported on iOS. Rendering children without glass effect.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run the expo example in /example folder
2. Or simply add a LiquidGlassView in any Android project

Expected behavior
Liquid Glass-like view even on Android/iOS <26, the way the demo video is showcasing

Desktop:
ProductName: macOS
ProductVersion: 26.3.1
BuildVersion: 25D2128

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Pixel 9 Emulator
• OS: Android 16

Hi @DragomirAndrei19!

The LiquidGlassView still isn’t implemented in Android. The warning is shown because it is available in iOS only.

In future features, the LiquidGlassView component in Android will be available.

Hey brother,
This was a graceful fallback made the hard-way from us. This will maybe change in the next versions when we add a liquidGlass on android

As for now I will maybe leave it like that and take a look at it when i have some time

Thank you for taking time to report this and point it out 🤝

@DanielAraldi @sbaiahmed1

Thanks for the quick replies and for the work on the library.

That makes sense now, but the side-by-side iOS/Android videos on the library’s page give the impression that Android has a similar (even if approximate) implementation. The example project not matching those visuals is a bit confusing, so I initially thought I might be doing something wrong. The example project wasn't matching the videos anyway.

Just to clarify: are those videos showing an upcoming/unreleased version, or were they meant as a conceptual preview/older fallback?

If there was previously a fallback similar to what’s shown there, I’d actually prefer something like that over the current behavior and would be interested in replicating it.

@DragomirAndrei19

Our examples in the previews are a bit outdated, sorry.

We will update them as soon as possible to avoid confusion. ✌️

Thank you!

I think you should reduce blur rounds ( via a prop) for android liquidGlass
Can you try that for me please ? ex 1

@sbaiahmed1

I'll 'play' with the values a little bit and see what can be achieved. It does seem like reducing blurRounds on a BlurView gets me closer to a similar glass effect (although it's a bit pixelated).

I guess the issue can be closed now or when the docs are updated, whenever you consider best.

Thank you once again and looking forward to the new implementation in the next versions :)
