How to Turn On Reduce Animations on Samsung Galaxy A57 with One UI 8.5

Reduce Animations lives in Accessibility, but the fastest way there is Settings search: search for Animations and flip the switch in the results. The recording turns it on — the same switch turns it off again.

Good to know

  1. The first search tried in the recording is “Remove animations” — it does not surface the switch (it only appears in Recent searches afterwards). Searching “Animations” finds it under Accessibility.
  2. The video only turns Reduce Animations on. Turning it off is the same switch — tap it again in the same search results.
  3. The same results page also lists Developer options rows (Transition animation scale, Window animation scale) — those are separate settings; the Accessibility switch is the one to use.
  4. Reduce animations is an Accessibility setting — it reduces motion effects across the system.
