Animations have stopped working in the official weather app for me after updating to 7.1. What gives?
Reduce Motion option now includes Weather, Messages, and multitasking UI animations
I had reduce motion enabled before the update too but animations in the weather app worked fine! That sucks! We should have had an option what to enable and disable
Did you have Reduce Motion enabled? From the 7.1 release notes:
I'm not noticing any difference in the Messages app, what's changed? Animations look the same to me.
The nice little springy bounce at the top or bottom of your message list disappears if turn Reduce Motion - On

Unless I'm just totally misunderstanding the complaints here, you can have the animations without the parallax effect. Just make sure that Reduce Motion is turned off and that when you set your Wallpaper that Perspective Zoom is set to off. Either way, that's the closest you're going to get to what you're wanting anyway.
The icons to still move a little bit did you notice that?
That's what I'm saying. We need those animations back. But we don't want that parallax effect!
Give us the option to turn on independently goddamnit Apple!

Do you mean imessage? Where's that animation?
Parallax makes me feel seasick and it also drains my battery unnecessarily. I don't want it switched on, but I *do* want my weather animations!
iMessage OR Message. Both of them have a little bounce when you scroll up or don and hit the first/last message.
Subtle, but pleasing.
My battery drain is so bad with Reduce Motion off that I've had to give up all of the little nice touches we had in 7.0.6
(except the lock screen wallpaper soon, which is there all the time!!)
It has no affect on battery life.

Your battery drain isn't anything to do with animations as they have no/very minimal affect on battery life. Sounds more like it's something else that's consuming your battery power.
The ability to turn off perspective zoom greatly decreases the parallax affect. Only the icons move slightly, which is hardly noticeable. All other animations stay the same.
Many settings drain the battery. Certain handsets are prone to a major drain with iOS7 anyway and it is recommended that every unnecessary setting is toggled off, parallax being one of these.
It has no affect on battery life.

I bow to your better knowledge as opposed to my direct experience

I highly doubt the animations are causing severe battery drain.
they did.
when setting your wallpaper, turn perspective zoom off. that way you have all the animations minus parralax (there's still a very slight paralax but only noticeable if you look for it).
iMessage OR Message. Both of them have a little bounce when you scroll up or don and hit the first/last message.

Really don't see what was wrong with leaving it as it was.
Parallax off, zoom icons off, but weather animations still on, along with the Messages bounce!
Deliberately now we have less choice. That 1984 Apple advert is getting closer all the time!
