Home Screen parallax effect is essentially broken if you use your iPhone normally.

I didn’t even check it because they’re not likely to fix it
Yes, I also saw the strange behavior of parallax at 15. I thought it wasn't there at all, but it turned out it was shutting down
This post clarifies so much. I noticed since iOS 16.0 that parallax was broken. Rarely I would see it operate properly, and normally the background is just static. It wasn’t until I read this post that I confirmed it’s a bug; it has steps to reproduce it every time, but only after a reboot. Quite a shame, really. Apple’s software QA is quite bad nowadays.
With Rumors of iOS 18 being a complete redesign, I doubt Apple will fix this bug before iOS 18.
You have to make sure you don’t swipe left or right after the reboot.
You could also try changing your zoom mode to zoomed and then back to standard to “soft boot” and that fixes it as well, but I find it faster to just reboot. I made a shortcut to reboot.
No swipe after reboot. Not even the badget jiggles like yours. Reduce motion is disabled. This is on iOS 17.3 and iPhone 13.
Do you have low power mode on? That’s the only other thing that will stop it. Other than that, I don’t know why yours won’t work.
that's hilarious - the parallax still applies to the notification badge on the app icon. It looks like a z-axis targeting issue - maybe the notification badges were raised another level in the stack so they'd show a differential perspective from their icons, and someone forgot to re-target the parallax down to two levels from the top to take that into account...
I don't what to tell when i restarted my iphone it started happening all suddenly my apps started like this and search button too.Are you sure it's a bug not a jailbreak thing?Mine is not and when apple will fix it lol
I was just using my phone normally and i decided to restart it because I haven't done it for a single time yet and my iphone was having some recording bug so i thought a force restart would fix it.But i never knew this parallax effect would turn on somehow after a force restart i don't know what triggered it or something messed up.So I don't know is this a bug that most of the people are still facing and i should be concerned about?.Any fix would be recommended.I also tried to fully reset my phone today still this issue/bug persists. What's wrong will Apple lol
I have had my parallax effect turned off for ages on both my main devices and they are still turned off after a forced restart, iPhone 13pro and iPhone 14.
I got this issue by force restarting the device earlier it was fine ig or i didn't focused much for now the temporary solution is to turn on power saver mode.
I am facing this parallax effect issue after a restart in ios version 17.4.1 and let's join hand's together and let apple know about this issue so that they can fix it.Anyone can help with the temporary solution on the fix of this issue or should i change my iphone lol i am so done now.
I guess he means to say is he never faced this bug in both of his devices
