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

As one of the first people who voiced their opinion on this matter, I have come back to report the progress:


Since we have Apple Care Plus, I was able to get a phone that has iOS6 and not 7. It was the best thing to happen since I <3 my iPhone and didn't want to change. I was affected by the motion zoom to the point that my phone was not usable. So, I thank Apple for giving me the option to "get my phone back".


I have seen the videos on YouTube that show the change from Animation to Fade. But, that does not solve everything.


Being that I am a social creature, as most humans, I use texting A LOT. The texts still feature bouncing bubbles with white on green texts for the sent messages. The bouncing is not necessary, and is dizzyfying. Being that texts are a main part of my usage, I will not go to 7 until it is able to function without the bells and whistles.


The white instead of black background, when folders are open, is quite off putting whenst trying to focus on the app that was opened. Please do not tell me to put everything in one folder; I have heard and tried it all before going to get another dang phone.


Also, my other main beef, is the camera. It puts the button on the screen instead of aside from it; you are using a button and it covers up part of the picture instead of being separate.


To the haters, YES I did contact Apple about my concerns, and YES I did try to use the product (phone), so please do not tell me I am complaining here for no reason. I wanted to turn off the animations, but the more I use(d) the phone, the more problems I encountered.


To those whom have used the new setting: YAY! I am glad Apple has made a fix, but given my experience, I cannot just upgrade yet when it took so much to get iOS6 back V_V


Thank you to everyone who also voiced their experience with the new iOS, and thank you to Apple for listening. There are still a few kinks to work out, and I am excited to see the progress as it developes. At this time though, I am more comfortable not upgrading since there are still more issues to be worked out.

I did the same - traded in my phone for a 5 that was still on iOS 6, thanks to Apple Care. Btw: I agree with your comments re: the camera and the texting bubbles. I won't be upgrading to 7 until the design is of the same standards as the engineering.


If in the next year the design remains pretty much as it is, I will give serious consideration to Android.

I welcome opinion, but when you and the other trolls call us - in our forum - whiners and use sarcasm and make derogatory comments at our expense, what do you expect to get in return?


If it's not your problem, then why do you enter a discucssion only to point and laugh at those with a valid isse? To display your lack of empathy? I would never have known you at all had you not come here with the express purpose of trolling.


If you ever want to meet up and "discuss" this issue in person, let me know. I'd really enjoy it.

1. It is not "your" forum, it is an Apple forum.

2. I did not laugh at anyone. I complained about whining without giving proper feedback.

3. Did you tell any Fandroids in "your" forum to get lost?


Motion sickness from phone use?

Ok, if you feel it, then it's real.

Now there's a switch for that and there are some who complain that there aren't TWO switches!

C'mon! That's what I call 'whining'.

It is "our" forum ( I never saud "my" as you imply) in the sense that it addresses an issue that is relevant to us. I wouldn't have gone to the "how do i use the camera" forum to discuss this issue. If you had a brain cell in your head, that should have been readily apparent.


You also made assumptions that all we did was come here without leaving feedback as well.


Perhaps if your original post had simply been, "Have you guys left feedback", THAT would have been productive and useful. But when you lead with using sarcasm and calling people whiners, and eventually somewhere in there saying go to feedback, then I really don't have the time of day for you.


I really love how you bully your way into a discussion and now that you've been called out, you're the one whining. Typical bully.
