iOS 11 Accessibility - Reduce Motion further causing motion sickness

In 'Settings', there is the 'Reduce Motion' accessibility option. However since iOS 11, enabling this setting does not disable enough of the motion sickness/agitating animations.


I believe further control should be provided over either (a) which animations occurs, or (b) the level of animations that occur.


Particular animations that are substantially more disturbing than iOS 10, even when 'Reduce Motion' is enabled, include;

(a) Unnecessarily increased transition effects in turning screen on;

(b) Unnecessarily increased fade when phone is unlocked;

(c) Unnecessarily increased fading effect when closing applications - this is particularly more motion sickness causing when closing more than a few applications.


The cumulative effect of these increased transitions and fading effects is a massively reduced user experience. I do agree that in some circumstances these transition effects can improve the user experience, by providing context over where the user is - for example, moving between menu's in 'Settings'. However regular user functions like turning on your screen don't need to have these additional effects - specially if the user doesn't want to see them!

iPhone X, iOS 11.3.1
