Any way to turn off iOS 7 navigation animations?

Honestly, I just hate the app launch zooming and fading upon waking the phone.

I want to turn all the transitions, zoom animations, and fades off.

For me, it's just way too distracting.

For me, the distraction is not so much of a concern as is the fact that the animation/fades/zooms slows down the functionality of the phone.

My sentiments exactly. I don't suffer from motion sickness like others here, but I want my time back. I don't want my time wasted by useless gee-whiz fades and animations.

Its both a wasted of time and eye bugging. Really hoping for a fix on this one. Seems like with Apple, a great fix (like the control center) always come up with added features that becomes an enormous annoyance.

I really hope Apple takes note. Whatever new thing they did with animations is making me dizzy and I'm seriously thinking of trading in my phone because it's just unusable now. I didn't have a problem with ios 6, in fact I barely noticed the animations there, but this zooming in and out is making me carsick. Apple, please fix this soon! I don't want to give up my iPhone if I don't have to!

What's bad is that the origin of the movement depends on the application. Some come from the top left, some from the bottom left etc...

FIrst time I post in Apple Support Communities but felt I needed to show that's this motion stuff made me sick as **** like many others. It took me 2 days to figure it out. Ok after enabling reduce motion.

Just want to chime in as one more person who is having this problem. Upgraded my iPad and iPhone to iOS7 and have had headaches and nausea ever since. I now have to severely limit my use of iOS devices. If I could downgrade to iOS 6 I would. If this problem is not fixed I'll have to leave the platform.

I didn't look through all 7 pages but this is the type of feedback you need to submit at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ Apple doesn't monitor these forums.

Yep they dont monitor these forums, and they don't provide any response to feedback. Makes you really wonder if they are listening to anything. IOS 7 was beta tested by developers and such for several months and we ended up with these nauseating animations. Does anyone really think they will add an option to disable them?

Does anyone really think they will add an option to disable them?

The unfortunate thing, based on past experience submitting "feedback," is that I don't think they will acknowledge the nausea inducing problems in iOS 7, let alone fix it...

I will continue to use iOS 6 as long as I can, but am grudgingly gearing up to the idea that I may be switching phone brands.

apple does indeed actively monitor these forums. i know this as a fact since i have been contacted by them regarding an issue i posted here. they just have a policy of NEVER answering anything here in public, so do not expect that to happen. i do of course think that this is a wrong approach by apple, one they will have to change if they want to be perceived as customer oriented. kind of a logical conclusion you should think.

I've experienced nausea and motion sickness and headaches since last week when I installed IOS 7, all due to the apps zooming in and out animation.

I had zero problems with IOS 6.

I think the best thing to do is keep posting on different forums to raise awareness. I think there's some people who may feel a little of the nauseous and dizzy symptoms, but they're not sure what's causing it.

Also, everyone, please send a quick email to the Apple Accessibility Group. I believe this is the best way to get in touch with the folks at Apple who can best address this issue. It is as simple as an enable/disable animation option with the Accessiblity menu.

My ONLY solution this past week, is to look away or close my eyes when unlocking and opening/closing apps.

Please send an email and keep your fingers crossed for a quick fix! 🙂

FYI, this thread has been picked up by The Verge:

iPhone and iPad users report severe motion sickness while using iOS 7

Jenni Leder encourages those who are affected to file a bug report with Apple, mentioning bug number 15074144 so the duplicate reports can be tallied.
