App opening animation changed with iOS 7.0.3?


Recommended Posts

My partner updated her iPhone 4S to the iOS 7.0.3 update that was released this evening.

 

Since that, she has noticed that when she opens apps, they fade open and fade close, rather than the zoom that has existed for a few years.

 

Is this an iOS 7.0.3 thing? It's not mentioned in the "changelog".

If she has Reduce Motion turned on they will "fade" if she does not they will zoom

Ah, I see.

 

Weird though, that option was disabled on her phone a few weeks ago in order to save battery life.

 

After updating to 7.0.3, she feels the animation changed.

 

No idea :D

The zooming thing is in this change. Motion sickness complaints had apple disable it if you turn off the parallax setting in accessibility.

So yeah, it's a new feature of this update.

It also removes all of the zooming transition animations that were making people sick (if you enable the option to reduce motion effects within iOS?s accessibility settings) and fixes several bugs.

There was a change to reduced motion:

  • Enhances the Reduce Motion setting to minimize both motion and animation

 

 

 

I'd have to imagine that's what's causing it, as the change allows there to be basically no motion animation on the phone.

I didn't have complaints about the zooming effect, but after having Reduce Motion enabled for a while I'm sold. App switching is quick and snappy. :D
