Q: Any way to turn off iOS 7 navigation animations?

This is my first time ever posting on an Apple Support Community and I have had an iphone for years-but I just had to say something. Just downloaded ios7 on Monday and have been nauseous ever since...today is Thursday. Almost threw up yesterday. Have an iPhone 4 and don't have the option to "Reduce Motion". Both my wife and I absolutely hate the ios7 upgrade and we can't go back to ios6. It's like a 3 year old designed it, it looks cheap and as I said, it makes us nauseous. Let's be honest, ios7 is a disaster. It's a downgrade, not upgrade. Very seriousely considering dumping the iPhone which we have absolutely loved through ios6. Never thought I would have to switch phones due to nausea. Or maybe I can take some medication? Come on Man! Very, very disappointed with Apple.

Oh my goodness! I thought it was just me... I had no idea it was iOS 7 causing this!?

I play online games, i've been doing so for many years. Just 3 days ago, I don't know what happened but my eyes suddenly started hurting so bad, and I got really bad headaches as well. I also felt nauseous.  It was unbearable, so I thought it was my constant play of games which was causing this problem, which is weird because this has not been a problem for me in the past few years. So I limited the number of hours I played games online but I still had the same problem, even now! & I have not played games for a few hours now. But I HAVE used my phone. I just came across this issue of 'iOS 7 motion sickness' and now I'm afraid to use my phone

I've had so many issues with Apple now, getting really frustrated!

Apple needs to an option to turn off or disable parallax feature as it is giving me motion sickness. Reduce the Motion option does not seem to help the issue at all. And if this continues for the next few months or so I'm switching to Android or Windows phone period. Downgrading the iOS back to 6 would be enough of a hassle to swtich phones.

+1 on the dizziness and headaches front. I rarely have headaches, but have had one every day since I upgraded to ios7 except for last weekend...when I spent the day using my PC and doing some gardening...and yesterday...when I read a traditional magazine on the way to work for a change. It's so disappointing. I love my iPad. I bought it originally for listening to music and having my personal calendar, contacts list and todo list on the move (I have a company phone which can't be used for personal stuff). However, I now use it for moreorless everything. It had transformed my life. I am really hoping Apple can sort this out quickly.

Let's all write feedback here so that Apple will hear us. If we all write they will eventually listen!

Though I'm still experiencing pretty severe symptoms from using my phone and have had no luck downgrading, here are a few things that have partially helped.

1. Turn off the Parallax effect

2. Increase the contrast

3. Increase fonts and boldness

4. Put all of your apps (at least on the home screen) into one or two folders. It might be annoying, but it reduces the flying in of apps when you unlock your phone.

5. Look away from the phone any time you open or close an application

Yes, it's a pain in the butt and does very little to help symptoms but any bit of relief is nice.

iOS 7 Update 7.0.3 Fixes iMessage, Security Flaw, But No Word On Motion Sickness

Just went to an Apple Store. They claim this is the first they've ever heard of such an issue.

So...there's that.

Well if the "genius" said that, maybe there is nothing to it.

The reduce motion turns off the parallax feature. You must be just complaining to complain.

My Genius was aware at the NJ Bridgewater store, but said they could not do anything about it.  Interestingly, it's not a hardware speed issue, as the slowness of whizz and zoom, was the same on an iPhone 4 as on a 5.  So the timing of the zoom must be software based, as the faster chip on the 5 did not speed up the slow zoom.

I'm not sick, nauseous, physically, or mentally distressed, but just annoyed at the extra lag, awful fonts, obscene colors, hard to read, and useless playfulness of the device geared to games, video and music.

Saturday is the big switch for me and the family's extra lines.  We'll see what 13 mega pixels look like!.  iOS7 timed with my 2yr upgrade option.

We'll see.  I can't imagine 7.0.3 will resolve anything, nor 7.1.  It's like dBase, Visicalc, Lotus 123, Wordstar, Wordperfect, IBM's PS/2, et al. all over again.

That is hard to say, but I suggest to look at magazines and retail book then see what fits your visual preference, then look for a font.  I think you will migrate to a serifed font, or if based on Helveticam something a bit bolder.  The smaller the font, the less desirable Helvetica becomes, unless broad.

sent two letters to Apple through this links: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Anyone who have trouble with iOS7 - please write a letter, let's make  Apple listen to its customers!

I'm also having this issue with the new IOS7. Disappointing because I used to b able to use my phone frequently for business and school related functions. Now I get headaches and dizziness to the point where I am considering switching phones altogether
