Slow animations on iPhone 7

Slow animations on iPhone 7

Hi!

I upgraded to the 7 from an iPhone 5S, but oddly the animations on the 5S are way faster, and smoother, than on the iPhone 7, especially the app closing animation. (Tried to restore, and set up as new device, but didn't help).

It's really frustrating, what should I do?

iPhone 7, iOS 10.0.2

The reason for the delay is that your iOS device is anticipating further presses.

You can avoid that

by unchecking everything under

Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut.

If "Guided Access" is checked and greyed out, you will need to disable it separately on the previous page (

Accessibility).

Greetings Bujak Laszlo,

Congratulations on your new iPhone! I see that after updating to the new iPhone 7 though, the screen animations aren't as fast and smooth on this new device like it was on your iPhone 5s. Well that's certainly something that I wouldn't want to have happen, especially with a new device. I have something for you to try.

I suggest making sure Reduce Motion is not turned on. Reduce Motion can disable animation and effects in certain apps. To check the Reduce Motion setting, go to Settings > General > Accessibility and tap the slider for Reduce Motion.

The following article will also help: Reduce screen motion on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Best Regards.

Hey Irina and Bujac

I have the same issue here, iPhone 7 256 GB, animations are way slower than my 6S, visible throughout the OS but most striking difference in app opening and closing animation

Hope theres a fix otherwise im returning my phone !
