Why it worked

The video likely performed well because it addresses a common user frustration (the old icon shimmer) and introduces a visually appealing customization feature that users can easily implement. The creator's personal preference and call for audience engagement also contribute to its shareability.

Summary

The video discusses a new feature in iOS 27 called "Liquid Glass" which allows users to customize the appearance of their icons. The creator expresses relief that an older, disliked "shimmer" effect has been removed and demonstrates how to adjust the "Liquid Glass" settings to be more transparent or frosted.

Transcript

You know, one thing iOS 27, which is actually good, what they've done is you remember that awful highlight that was around all the icons? Your phone right, you would do that awful shimmer. That is gone. I'm not sure if I've actually hit a setting to turn it off, but I'm so thankful I can't see that anymore because whoever designed that, that is the worst idea ever. Also, if you want to change the liquid glass, you can change the liquid glass, you can actually change the setting. You can get really liquidy glassy, or you can make it frosted. To be fair, I quite like it more frosted. I think it looks a bit more classy. Even the liquid glass effect is quite cool. I just think practically it just looks better frosted. What do you think?
