If you do not see this option

• Want them softer, not off? Search also finds Animation effect and Transition animations under Home screen, Lock screen & style.
• Older OxygenOS? OnePlus's OxygenOS 14 manual puts Accessibility under Additional settings. Source: OxygenOS 14.0 User Manual

If this does not work

• Some apps still move? Apps can use their own animations. Source: Use accessibility features on Android
• Home screen still animates? Check Animation effect in Home screen settings.

About this guide

Removing animations cuts the zoom and slide effects, which helps with motion sickness.

The screenshots are from our OnePlus Nord 5 with OxygenOS 16.0.5.1201 and Android 16, in Dark mode. It was off. We changed nothing.

Good to know

Turn on colour correction or greyscale on a OnePlus.

In short: Accessibility, Vision, Remove animations.
