Q: 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 finally got around to updating my wife's iPhone 4S to iOS 7 and wouldn't you know it, she happens to be another person that is nowgetting motion sick from iOS 7. It isn't really the parallax effect as much as it is the zoom in/out, so the 'reduce motion' setting doesn't help at all. It's to the point where she really cannot even user her iPhone right now due to this.

     

    Figured I might as well add a +1 to this post in case anyone important is keeping an eye on the issue.

     

    Hopping this issue gets fixed soon, cause while mamma ain't happpy... I'm not getting any.

    Me too. As I have felt dizzy and nausea for 3 days, I never use iPhone on the bus. But I do not know the reason. Today, when I was using ipad with ios 7, the function of zoom in and out make me really uncomportable. 

    So, I really want to return ios 6.

    "Gratuitous interface changes are interrupting my workflow. Millions of iOS users are conditioned to 'swipe right' to delete something (eg, an email.) For some reason you changed it to 'swipe left', which I found only by doing a Google search.  This and other changes have me wondering... why take something that works so well and change it?  You didn't make it better, you just made it different."

     

    In iOS 6 and previous versions you could swipe either direction to delete a [mail] message. So the right-to-left swipe isn't really new or changed, they just altered the left-to-right swipe and made it a completely different (system wide) gesture.

     

    Oddly, I always swiped right-to-left to delete [mail] messages, so I didn't have a problem; however I've had to help out a couple of people that are in the same boat as you. The one that gets me is the iMessage where you have to hold down on a message to get the delete option. This is a good example of being inconsistent in the design and control aspects.

     

    As Steve would have said, you are swiping wrong. Swipe the other direction, it isn't a big deal.

    I had Labyrinthitis over two years ago and still suffer minor effects.  I can no longer use my iPhone after upgrading to iOS7 and am looking for alternatives today.  I am in disbelief of the attitutes of those that can't get their tiny brains to understand that just because they don't have a medical issue - doesn't mean that no one else could possibly have the issue.  I just can't get the logic.  I wish a horrible case of Labyrinthitis on them.

    I'm with you- after 18 months my Labyrinthitis symptoms have improved a bit, but I still need to be careful driving etc. I never thought my iOS devices would cause problems in this area, but they do.

    I also have this problem- I can hardly use my iphone any longer without getting a sever headache and feeling really nauseated. 

     

    Please allow users the option to turn off all the animated zooms!!  Otherwise I can no longer use my iphone due to it making me physically sick.

    Dear Apple,

     

    Please turn off these evil animations that are making me hate my phone, which I use to love.

     

    Sincerely,

    ****** off user

    Okay, so since it's not happening to you it must be a joke, a hoax or just plain weird.

    Also happened to my wife immediately after first picking up iOS7.

     

    Good lord how many complaints does Apple need to provide an option to disable extraneous UI.

    I just sold my Apple shares because of this issue. I figure they are in for a drop as OS7 is so universally disliked, and Apple seem to be stubbornly ignoring all the complaints. I regard it as their "Vista" moment - Microsoft took too long to publicly acknowledge the frustrations of its customers and Apple seem to be falling into the same arrogant trap.

    According to Apple support:

    Additionally, you can Increase Contrast and enable Bold Text - some users have informed us that that has helped them reduce the perception of motion they encounter in iOS 7.  They are under the Accessibility menu.

     

    I also significnatly decreased brightness and that helped.

     

    it is helping, but its still bad for me.

    We are not all the same human. Only Apple thinks so.

    so you just sold your apple shares because of this?? wow....couldint wait or what......2 weeks in and you expect apple to just jump.....do you really think apple had talked to doctors to see if an app zooming out was going to cause vertigo to an extremely small amount of people?? whats with this sense of entitlement for something you get for free??? people are just so self absorbed in themselves and think everyone owes them something... its about time people take resposibility for their own lives... maybe all you vertigo sufferers should of went down and looked at the new ios7 like i did and see it before you blindly download something thats FREE and then complain about it!!! grow up people....stop making excuses for the crap that happens in your life... never in my 48 years of life have i seen such a swing in attitude that individuals are OWED somethng..... gonna go sell my burger king shares now because i dont like the taste of the coffee...cheers
