okay does anyone know anything about fixing android phones after they update

apparently they decided it was a good idea to animate the home button now and I do _not_ like it. _at all._ That section of the screen is supposed to be monochrome and it should not have multicolored dots swirling around

this is seriously distressing, in a way I really don't know how to describe

it's very definitely an accessability problem, I can say that much

@Felthry It probably depends on the specific device in question, but this looks like it might help? solveyourtech.com/turn-off-ani
(The only android I use is stuck on several year old software version and has a physical home button so I'm not familiar with the new stuff you're describing)

@roguecnidarian yeah I already tried that and it didn't work. it just sped the animation up to ridiculous speeds, which isn't an improvement

on a side note, android.stackexchange.com/ques I made a stackexchange post about it because this is very distressing and I want it to be back how it was

@roguecnidarian extremely and I want to know whose idea this was so I can yell at them
