Enable or Disable Effects in Messages App in iOS 10

There’s no escaping it. The new bubble and full-screen effects in the Messages app iniOS 10 are loud. Colorful, and loud. They’re fun, sure. But if your brain is annoyed by so many colors or sudden movement, you might have a problem using the Messages app. The thing is, Apple hasn’t included an off switch for this. So we’ll need to improvise.

Reduce Motion

Reduce Motion in Accessibility is an option created to deal with exactly the same thing. For users who don’t like or can’t handle all the swooping animations in iOS 10.

Turning on Reduce Motion also disables the bubble and full-screen effects in the Messages app.

Step 1: Open the “Settings” app, go to “General“, “Accessibility” and tap on “Reduce Motion“.

Step 2: Then tap on the green toggle to disable it.
