Stop or reduce on-screen motion on Mac
You can stop or reduce the movement of some elements on the screen — for example, when you open apps, switch between desktops, or open and close Notification Centre. This feature is especially useful for people who experience motion sickness or vertigo.
You can also automatically dim the display of content that depicts flashing or strobing lights, and pause the display of rapid animated images such as GIFs.
On your Mac, choose Apple menu
in the sidebar, then click Display on the right. (You may need to scroll down.)Turn on any of the following:
Reduce motion: Reduce the motion of the user interface.
Prefer non-blinking cursor: Stop the blinking of the vertical bar that appears at the insertion point where you’re typing.
Dim flashing lights: Automatically dim the display of content that depicts flashing or strobing lights.
Note: This option is available only for supported media and on Mac computers with Apple silicon. Content is processed on device in real time. “Dim flashing lights” should not be relied upon for the treatment of any medical condition.
Auto-play animated images: Automatically pause the display of rapid animated images (such as GIFs in Messages and Safari)
