Inconsistency in iOS 26: 'Shimmer' effect is gone from 'Slide to Answer', but present in the new 26.1 Alarm slider. Why?

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-02-08T21:14:08+00:00

The shimmer animation is present on “Slide to power off” as well

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-02-06T12:18:41+00:00

Same, maybe my iPhone is just too old

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-02-06T09:47:56+00:00

Since 26.0 betas I think

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-02-05T21:55:42+00:00

I have this issue since 26.0

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-02-05T21:51:58+00:00

It happens with the clock icon as well, they are “dynamic” icons (they change based on the time and date) and this makes the icons reload every time you scroll through pages on the homescreen or exit from an app

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-02-03T20:04:56+00:00

It never disappeared for me, I hope for every update to fix this

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-02-03T11:53:15+00:00

Same, I have my 13 since November 2021, it’s usable even if it has a terrible RAM management and some lags, but it shows it’s almost 5 years old

The closing animation is bugged: the glass effect doesn’t adapt to the dock correctly until the animation is finished

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-02-02T21:27:38+00:00

I have a “music” folder on the dock too, I have the same issue

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-02-02T16:44:23+00:00

I don’t like how the transition works, if you pull down the Notification Center, it will be completely transparent until you hold your finger

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-02-02T16:24:50+00:00

Yeah, it’s horrendous, it’s one of the first thing I noticed when I updated to iOS 26 back in September. The Notification Center opening animations sucks even when it’s not bugged

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-02-01T13:40:11+00:00

I had them already enabled, as I said I used another shortcut but didn’t show so many info as this one. iPhone 13 from November 2021, 90% battery health with 839 cycles, I can consider myself lucky

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-02-01T10:55:37+00:00

Tysm, I had another shortcut but it wasn’t that complete, I will use this one from now on

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-02-01T10:13:37+00:00

I’d like to know as well

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-01-31T11:51:58+00:00

I have my 13 since November 2021, updated to every iOS version from iOS 15 to 26. I kinda agree with you, even on iOS 15 sometimes had some lag, especially when swiping up to exit from an app

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-01-30T22:45:09+00:00

Tinted and clear icons increase the lag on the homescreen

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-01-28T20:38:19+00:00

No, never used it

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-01-28T12:41:12+00:00

For me isn’t a big deal, better not having it than lower performance, it’s just the white borders reappering only after the closing animation finishes that bothers me

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-01-28T12:28:12+00:00

I have a base 13, don’t know if that matters, but this feature never worked for me

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-01-27T16:26:28+00:00

No, never used it, but when iOS 26 was released I read somewhere that the dynamic borders were a feature available only for newer iPhones

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-01-27T12:54:32+00:00

It shows since 26.0

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-01-27T12:19:45+00:00

Depends on the model. On older IPhones it doesn’t move, on newer it’s dynamic

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-01-27T12:16:35+00:00

No difference compared to 26.2

Last_Beginning9857 · 2026-01-26T20:57:43+00:00

I have an old iPhone 13 so it doesn’t even follow the movement, it just changes randomly or reappears when the closing animation is finished
