How to reduce screen motion on iPhone and iPad

  • Open Settings
  • Swipe down and tap General

  • Screen transitions and effects use the dissolve effect instead of zoom or slide effects.
  • Parallax effect where your wallpaper, apps, and alerts that move or shift slightly as you tilt your device are disabled.
