【Watch Fast Five Online】
iOS 10 is Watch Fast Five Onlinea big release -- it's packed with tons of new features, some more useful than others -- but the most notable one is, no doubt, the revamped and turbocharged Messages app.

By default, starting from iOS 7, iOS ships with Reduce motion turned off. The setting was introduced to reduce the motion sickness some users (like me) have when looking at the 3D parallax wallpaper effect on the home screen and the zooming in on folders. I much prefer the transitional fade animations with Reduce motion turned on over the nauseating zooming effects.

An Apple spokesperson clarified to me Reduce motion reduces animations on a system-wide level.
So if you have Reduce motion turned off and you're long pressing as hard as you can on the ↑ button in Messages, you might want to Reduce motion off.
Because you can't be missing out on these effects:
