Turn Off Display Animations auf Android
Android animates almost every screen transition by default. Opening an app, switching between recent apps, or closing a settings menu triggers a short fade or slide effect. These effects are handled by the system's accessibility framework, not by individual apps, so they run on every screen at the same time.
On newer or high-refresh-rate phones this barely matters. On older hardware or budget devices, each animation adds a small but noticeable delay before the next screen becomes usable. Disabling animations removes that delay and makes navigation feel more direct, though the interface loses the smooth visual transitions between screens.
To turn this setting on or off, go to Tap on Settings ➔ Tap on Accessibility ➔ Tap on Color and motion ➔ Enable or disable Remove animations. This option is available across current Android versions, though the exact wording can shift slightly between manufacturer skins.
Keep animations enabled if you rely on visual cues to track which app is opening or closing, for example when using split-screen or multitasking gestures frequently. If your priority is raw responsiveness rather than visual polish, disabling them is the better choice.
