Migraines and screen (new phone)

In the last few years I have realised that my (silent, but grim) migraines can be triggered by screens - for example the side to side motion scrolling through photos on ipads is just awful, and scrolling through long pdf files. I just got a new phone and annoyingly it has exactly the screen features that trigger my migraines - when scrolling between screens they sort of 'bounce' in a way that I think is supposed to be cute, but just makes me feel ill.

Does anyone know if there's a way to turn this feature off, or do I just need to send the phone back? (my DCs are lurking in the background hoping they get it)

What phone did you get?

motorola

DH sorted it - there's an animations setting and you can turn off the animations. Hooray!

Hope that helps other people in the same situation!
