I have an iPhone 11 and the rain and lightning is not showing on the weather app although it does show on old iPhone 8 Plus. I checked the accessibility settings and they are set the same. How can I fix this on iPhone 11?
raelene0916,
We appreciate you checking Reduce Motion. You specifically mentioned rain and lightning animations, any others also missing like the clouds moving when it's partly or mostly cloudy? Another setting that can impact this is Settings > Display & Brightness > View. Make sure it is set to Standard, not Display Zoom. If it is set to Display Zoom, choose Standard, then Set at the top right. Your device will restart.
Thanks.

Don’t remember why I switched it to zoomed. Glad we were able to find the solution to my issue. Think before I change things, I’ll write down what I’m changing first in case it messes something up, then I can undo it 😆
It is turned off and yet animation still not working 😢 Are there any other things I should look into?
Thank you so much. That worked!!

Great to hear! Obviously if you prefer to have the display zoomed in you can, but it's always nice knowing why something isn't working the way you expect.
Have a great day.
Greetings raelene0916,
We understand that you’re not seeing some animations in the Weather app on your device.
You mentioned having checked Accessibility settings on both devices. One we want to be sure to check specifically on your iPhone 11 is Settings > Accessibility > Motion > Reduce Motion and be sure that settings is turned off.
Here’s more on what that specific setting controls: Reduce screen motion on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Thanks.
