iOS App UX Design Evolution
The Banno Mobile app on iOS is currently undergoing an incremental user experience (UX) design overhaul to reflect Apple’s new Liquid Glass design system, which all iOS apps must adopt by 2026. To ensure a high-performing experience and better prepare financial institutions and accountholders for the modernized UX, Jack Henry is working to introduce the required changes in a series of releases – Banno Mobile versions 3.29 through 3.33.
The sections below provide an overview of the changes to date and those planned with each release.
Mobile 3.29
ShippedReleased on Thursday, November 13, 2025, Banno Mobile 3.29 on iOS included the first of many noteworthy UX updates.
This release established the modernized UI for the navigation bar across the app. Improving the navigation involved the following changes, which better align with native patterns and system theming:
- Custom toolbar options have been removed.
- Toolbar buttons now reflect the body text theme color.
- Labels now reflect the system’s primary color.
Mobile 3.30
BuildingCurrently targeted for App Store uploads in early December 2025, Banno Mobile 3.30 on iOS will include adjusted colors for backgrounds and text. In both cases, the changes align to the new standard system colors for these elements, as shown in the preview below.
Additionally, end users will notice new styles when dismissing screens, as we are transitioning to the new system close button – an xmark enclosed in a circle. In previous versions of the app, users have tapped words like cancel, close, and done to dismiss screens.
Mobile 3.31
BuildingIn Banno Mobile 3.31, we will continue adjusting our color usage to be more purposeful. This will include less obvious changes, like the dividers used to separate accounts, and more visible changes, like section titles.
This version will also introduce the adoption of Apple’s SF Symbols, which replaces our existing Banno icon library. The latest version, SF Symbols 7, provides additional flexibility with built-in animations and icon styles. In the future, we will leverage these advantages to enhance brand identity in the app.
Mobile 3.32
RadarBanno Mobile 3.32 will start to introduce larger structural changes to content. Search will see an overhaul in this release, moving from the navigation bar to the primary content area. This change ensures that when we enable Liquid Glass, the search UI automatically moves to the bottom toolbar, as expected. This means we also have to address how we expose filtering, which was previously tied closely to search. Filters will move to the navigation bar prior to Liquid Glass, after which they will move to the bottom toolbar, right next to search.
This release will also introduce consistent layout styles for landing and detail screens alike. We will address inconsistencies with how we present these screens as well, so accountholders can start relying on a cohesive experience throughout the app.
Mobile 3.33
RadarBanno Mobile 3.33 will mark the completion of our early preparations for Liquid Glass. Screens used to initiate money movement will be transitioned to a consistent layout style, and similarly to 3.32, we will address inconsistencies with how this type of content is presented throughout the app.
