Any way to turn off iOS 7 navigation animations?

The zoom animations everywhere on the new iOS 7 are literally making me nauseous and giving me a headache. It's exactly how I used to get car sick if I tried to read in the car.


How do I turn them off? Do I have to revert to 6?

iPhone 4

I just tested the time between an iPad running iOS 6 and the new zoom is only slightly if even noticeable. How does slowness cause vertigo anyway? Second, it always zooms into the app. The is very predictable. The old zoom always just zoomed out from the center, also predictable. I am very confused how you cannot predict where it will zoom from, it always comes into the app you are opening.

Look, if you haven't felt weird sickness, eye fatigue and headache while using iOS 7 then you're not susceptible to whatever subtleties in the design are causing a growing number of people to feel it.


It's not a spontaneous mass conspiricy to mess with Apple. I have used and loved Apple products for over 23 years. I have to say; It's not helpful to come on here and brow beat and dismiss others who are having a very real reaction to iOS 7.


If you're not experiencing headache and nausea using iOS 7 then consider yourself very lucky. I envy you because not only is it physically near debilitating but there is also an emotional edge to it as well, I found myself sinking into depression everytime I was overcome by iOS 7 nausea.


Furthermore, if physical and emotional effects can be triggered so easily by using these kinds of devices, there is probably a larger conspiracy to be addressing.

EXACTLY! Its not constant any more. It goes all over the screen at different angles and the "immersive" feeling that gives people causes dizzyness in some. I personally have not had a dizzy spell from the OS but i do see where it can come into play as I have suffered from migraines in the past. (I have not had vertigo so dont know what that feels like...)
