Enable or Disable Display Animations auf Huawei
Menu transitions and app launches on Huawei phones use a rendering layer that adds fading, shadow, and blur effects. This layer is controlled by a single accessibility option, not by the launcher or theme settings. Disabling it removes the extra frames the system draws during transitions, which reduces the load on the graphics processor.
The option sits under accessibility tools because it was originally meant to help users who find motion effects distracting. It works the same way as a performance switch: fewer visual layers to render, faster response when opening apps or switching menus.
Where to find the setting
Open Settings ➔ Accessibility features ➔ Accessibility ➔ toggle Advanced visual effects. Turning it off removes fade-ins, shadows, and blur from menus and app transitions immediately, no restart needed.
If the phone still feels slow after disabling this option, the cause is usually background app management or low storage rather than animations. Check running apps or free up space before adjusting other display settings.
Turning off Advanced visual effects makes transitions feel more abrupt since screens switch instantly instead of fading. Some users prefer the smoother look and only disable the effect temporarily while gaming or during heavy multitasking.
