Reduce Motion
One of the things that makes the iPhone stand out is the smooth animations you get when you open an app or switch to a different app. Unfortunately, even if it looks satisfying, it takes more power to run these animations, which can tax the resources on older iPhones.
To increase its speed and performance, you can reduce motion on your iPhone by doing the following:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and go to Accessibility.
- Tap on Motion.
- Enable Reduce Motion.
Now if you go back to your Home Screen, you’ll notice your iPhone doesn’t do an animation anymore. It might take a while to get used to it, but it might help you with performance in the long run.
