iOS 9.1 is making me feel dizzy and giving me headaches.

[nandamsq]

Anybody else experiencing same symptoms!?
How to fix it?

 

[Just_Me_D]

No, however, you can try going to Settings→ General→ Accessibility→ Reduce Motion, and then turn on "Reduce Motion".

 

[Bigeric23]

Ugh . . . no. I'm not having any issue like this.

 

[pr1nce]

I don't have that issue either.

 

[Not Quite Right]

You should go see a doctor ... you have bigger problems than iOS 9.1 ...

 

[Haseeb Rehman]

Not really.

 

[Ledsteplin]

I haven't noticed anything different with iOS 9.1 that would cause dizziness and headaches!

No.

Use your phone with the Apple logo facing you.

Just Me is correct. It's motion sickness. A small number of folks are really sensitive to the new motion effects, including me.

I had some miner problem at the beginning with motion. At that time I turned it off but now I have turned it back on again and I have no problem with it.

When the Parallax effect first started with iOS 7, there were people who got motion sickness. As D' says, toggle reduce motion on in Settings.

I turned on Reduce Motion with iOS 8. It was making me sick, too.

This.

I remember the threads about that when it came out. Not everyone was feeling it but there were people who did. A side effect of turning off motion is it seems to make the phone seem more snappy but could be an illusion

 

[Furt]

Every phone I get since Parallax became a thing I've had to turn off that feature due to my vertigo. iPhones are the worst, but turning on reduced motion completely solves the issue for me.

It's the moving background. Change background to a static background. I had same issue and posted about it on the 5S as well as on the 6+. The little "spaceship effect" (I think they call it Parallax or something) that they have isn't worth the potential problems it can cause some people, especially since it's turned on by default.

I have actually been feeling the same symptoms.

When I first switched from a droid to an iPhone 6 back in March '15, I started to feel these same symptoms along with headaches and straining my eyes. Was ready to return it, but then I did what everyone here mentioned as far as turning on "Reduce Motion" (along with a few other things) and it helped immediately and I was able to keep my iPhone.

Last Saturday, I updated to IOS 9 and the symptoms came back. Not nearly as bad, but this time I just feel dizzy all the time. So I don't know if its the actual phone, or me.

Thoughts?

Has the parallax effect changed in 9.1?

Is reduce motion still off?

What he said. Sometimes settings reset after an update so make sure reduce motion is still off

Jack Daniels has the same effect on me! :biggrin:
