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'm sorry, but I don't get how this is such a hot topic. I have had zero such issues and of the many people with whom I've discussed iOS 7, none of them have as well. I don't doubt that some of these complaints are legitimate (and my apologies to those who are truly suffering) but the fact that this forum has been overwhelmed with such complaints, along with the fact that this has gotten so much press coverage, makes me wonder if some of this hasn't been planted by Apple's competitors.


By Apple's competitors? Is that serious?


If Apple does not do something, I will have to get rid of this phone and get one of "apple's competitors" unfortunately.

No, I've been using Apple since the Apple II. I love Apple. I've worked for Apple developers my entire career. I've ALWAYS recommended Apple. If I didn't care or llike Apple, I'd simply – and silently – just sell my iPhone 5 now and by a phone from another company. I'm also a shareholder, BTW. So please, I'm happy you have no issues with iOS 7, but many of us do and the complaints are entirely legitimate.

The problem for those suffering is twofold: first, many other people refuse to believe a problem exists; secondly, there's no fix. "We're often contacted by people affected by moving images on screens, but people are affected in different ways — what's a problem for one person may not be for another," explained Natasha Harrington-Benton

Why iOS 7 is making some users sick

It's very interesting to see everyone's comments below. First let me say I am a big apple supporter of had an iPhone for many years. Around two years ago I started getting headaches when using my iPhone a lot, especially when scrolling faster through emails, moving through apps quickly, and using my phone in the dark. To that point, I began seeing a neurologist. It wasn't until a few months ago I really correlated my headaches to my phone use. I headaches went away when I didn't use my phone and came about when I did.


I do think that the zooming in and out of apps is part of this.

I'd like to also say that I have experienced the same issues being talked about it. Only after about 5 minutes I start feeling extremely nauseous like I am car sick. I thought I was getting the flu, because my friend was sick a few days ago. I started searching and found this forum and was amazed so many others are experiencing the same thing I have been for the past couple of days. Apple needs to fix this, or at least provide the ability to turn it off! Until then I've gone back to my emergency go phone for the meantime. Really considered taking it in but I thought it would be silly to tell them it was making me sick. However, after reading everyone's posts I realize perhaps not.
