iOS 9 Transition Effects Disappearing Suddenly - iPhone 6

I too face the same issue with iOS 9.2.

For temporary quick fix, I toggle the Standard / Zoomed option in Display and Brightness settings.

Hi Anvirr,

Did apple respond to you, after you send them the feedback. I belive you need to raise it a bug ticket, so that it can be tracked.

Hi Anvirr,

The issue happens to old and new phone once you install ios 9.x. with ios 8.x i don't seet his issue and see it on all my friends and family members phone where ios 9.x is installed i.e on iphone 6,6s,6s+ all running ios 9.x

I went to apple store on Monday and demonstrate them the issue and how it gets automatically fix after restart. Before any suggestion from apple support person I told him that I have already tried doing a factory reset, setting my phone as new and doing multiple backups and none have helped me. I also told and shown him the link of our current discussion thread that its not me but others are facing similar issue. He was not aware of any similar issue reported in past and was saying it might be a iOS issue. I told him that I have sent apple the feedback and there is nothing left for me to do now. Lastly, listening to my detailed explanation he offered me a new phone as replacement as mine was just 20 days old. I have set up the new one as a new iphone and gave my old phone to him. He said that he is going to get the phone examined and will send his comments to apple product team. I am still not sure if its an iOS issue or device. Hopefully its an iOS issue which doesn't work in some weird condition and apple make a note of it. That's all my friends. Happy Holidays!!!

Hi Anvirr,

I have today raised a bug with apple @ https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/

Awaiting something positive to hear from apple dev team. Will keep you posted, if i hear back from them.

Happy Holidays to you too.

So Is the problem still exist with your new IPhone ?

Try to restore your iPhone and set it as new. Do not restore from your previous backup . This method works for me. I've been using the phone for weeks without the transition problem anymore . i'm using iPhone 6 iOS 9.2. Hope this helps 🙂

I'm still facing the same issue even after the recent 9.2.1 update ... seems strange that Apple is not coming up with a fix even after so many updates.

Yep, I also am irritated right after the update 9.2.1. the problem still occurs :3 it usually triggers when u slide down into ur screen and the search bar appears, right after BOOM! slide transition gone :3 and when i Lock my phone, a quick One Flash of the screen b4 it turns off :3 have u experienced it also?

Yes, I am facing the same issue for long time now irrespective of whether I upgrade from 9.2 to 9.2.1 . Also after the transition effects are lost and there are many other issues tied up. Lock screen flash, keyboard crashes.
I tried doing a factory reset and also setup the phone as a new device without using backup. It still didn't work out for me.
Reported the issue many times to Apple . Hope Apple fixes this issue asap 😟

actually many communities open these kind of topics. here are some:

https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/3lav2c/anybody_else_experiencing_stutte ring_animations/

https://www.reddit.com/r/ios9/comments/3lrvoy/issuebug_noticeable_fps_drops_on_i os_91_iphone_5s/

and as u can see there are all identical, im confused on why Apple doesn't respond to these issues :3

Akhilraj976, the performance of ip 5s,6, and 6s are more likely dropping the fps of the device, some improvements maybe doesnt meet the compatibility of older devices and focuses on the improvemnts of 6s, but even 6s frame rates are dropping, resulting to stutter screen and flashing lock button. :3

Still seeing the issue happening with IOS 9.2.1. No fix yet from Apple.

Not always. But most of the time i notice the issue surfaces back after using the spot light search for any text.

Apple really makes me sick, I called them, they said they will look into it and came out with the solution for my case. It have been two weeks, I HAVEN'T heard anything from them yet!!! Come on Apple it has been three months! Fix the **** issue!

Same exact issue here. I recently bought an iPhone 5s and I experience this sudden transition effects "gone" once every 4 or 5 days. Its like all the screens you want to get in to front comes without any effects. And yes, when you put it to sleep you can notice a little flash before the screen turns off.

My 5s came with 9.0.2, so its not an iPhone that I had to put many updates on it. I experienced ths either in 9.2 and 9.2.1. Didn't have the chance to test it under 9.0.2 since I updated it to 9.2 instantly. Pretty weird it hasn't been fixed yet. But you can be sure its not a '6' issue only.

As I said, it happens like once every 4 or 5 days. And I noticed it tends to start to happen when you turn on/off 'important' settings as turning off/on spotligh search, or certain background app refresh. Maybe its coincidence, dunno.

I feel relieved its not only an issue i have, as my iPhone 5s is new and this was driving me nutts since the beggining.
