while that could be useful...I don't understand hw to read it...Maybe i will try again and then see what changes once it stops working.
Got a tip for us?

Are you using the "disable animations" bug?

Look for an entry that corresponds or just precedes the drop of the animation bug. I've had my bug reset 2x. One I tied to a system reboot as a result of the calendar widget fail. The other - no clue. If I start seeing daily resets or something along those lines, that's where I start looking....
Can confirm it worked in iOS 9.3.1, on my 6s. Pro-tip: when swiping, wait until the Assistive Touch dot is about 2/3 up the keyboard area of your screen, then swipe back down. Took a few tries, but made it!
Amazing how fast it feels now. With that said... I doubt I'll keep it that way. It feels more 'natural' with the animations enabled.

Just about everything. Expanding folders in a list, dialog boxes zoom into place now, windows zoom into place, quick look zooms, new folders animate to find their place in the list of folders (cutting off the first couple of letters if you start typing too fast while it's animating), certain UI elements animate (such as downloads button in safari).
Some of these things can be disabled, but folder animations, quick look and expanding folders animations cannot be disabled.
A few potential things that might play a role in it all (from some of my previous comments about it):
I know a lot of people that prefer the movement and zooming animations and actually do not want to disable or change them as it just wouldn't look as nice for them, and part of the iOS experience for them is the look and feel and not necessarily the millisecond responsiveness that many of them don't even notice or care about. None of that is to say that an option beyond the reduce animation that's there wouldn't be good, but it's to say that for many users (in particular many typical users) animations and movement are part of what they actually want/like.
Also, for something to be a feature, and that's assuming that it's a feature that Apple wants to provide to begin with, it would have to be defined and refined to work properly (rather than a glitch that completely disables everything and in the process creates some visual/flow inconsistencies at times, as brought up by some in the thread about that glitch).
Another good reply by another user from a another thread that talks about this as well:
I actually managed to do this by accident and I wasn't really sure why my phone animations disappeared like I accidentally disabled some animation setting I wasn't aware of. My friend even noticed while I was using my phone and was like ... why is your phone so much faster than mine? But it was causing UI glitches like screen flickering when I pressed the power button. I apparently haven't restarted my phone in a few days because this glitch has been going on for a while now. I'm actually relieved to know there wasn't something wrong with my phone. After restarting my phone all the UI glitches were gone, including the power off screen flickering I was seeing.
and roughly half of the 172 who bothered to vote in this thread do use it.

dang once a week this bug/glitch stops working on my iPhone 6.
I am not draining the battery in full or restarting it.
it just stops working. i am having an unsuccessful time getting it to go back to the bug/glitch today. I tried disable animations but the slow fade feels slower than the zoom.
I just wish it was an option to remove the transitions al-together.

Can anyone confirm it still works on 9.3.2 public release. Ive updated and can't get it to work.
