I‘ve tried it out. Extremely weird and disorienting. Makes me dizzy. Back to the old settings. But cool that it’s possible.

[GameThrone]

That’s pretty cool

I’m going to do it

Hello Apple Support I have a question that I have ipad 7th gen and when I add the Widget permanently on the home screen and I use gestures on my iPad like swipe up to close and app my ipad delays to do gestures like it’s a 2 seconds delay but when I remove the option of keeping widgets on my Home Screen my ipad don’t delays any gestures. Can you assist me please with this problem

Does this option help to save at least a little battery power? Or is the only meaning of this option just a visual preference?

Do this on your Mac's too, then you can switch between spaces and the transition is less jaring!

That is a great feature included in apple products

Hi, Apple Support. I don't know if you will be replying to my message, but I am experiencing very bad battery life with my iphone 12 pro. Battery health is 100 and it is barely 4 months old. Overnight drain is majorly what I am facing. It drains about 5% overnight, compared to my iPhone XR, which was only 3% at max. Overall, Ive noticed since Apple has decreased the battery size, battery life has been bad on iPhone too

[vunn]

Does that have to do anything with the battery?

[applelcs]

Love me some reduced motion, gigitty... Thanks Apple!

apple should make something that processes the speed of strobe lights & reduces it for people with photo sensitivity<3

[FatallyCMB]

I need some help with small imagery that won’t become transparent

[dharshanadesilva]

Wish I had that in my iPhone 6 too, because it doesn’t have iOS 14. And it is slow sometimes.
