That'd be nice. I already keep that setting to disabled (rather have things happen quickly than prettily), and the only one I miss at all is the open-in-new-tab in Safari.
This is dumb! I just don't like emojis.
I find it odd that you say you don't like emoji's and yet you're using one in your post currently. That's known as a double standard.
Offended is a pretty poor choice of word. I would have thought a more suitable verb to be along the lines of "annoyed" or "irritated".I use them on special occasions, etc., as well as when someone finds out they are expecting.
Also, I use sparingly to send a special love message and my effort always pays off later on.

If someone sent you one of these messages would you really be that offended?
Unless there is a group of poop worshipping people who have decided the depiction of their deity to be blasphemous, I think the exact answer is going to be "no".
As you can see from other posts; the point remains: I was querying the ability to disable superfluous and distracting "stuff" that interferes with the simple text communication.
There's an awful lot of "stuff" recently piled on that constantly hinders usability and functionality, yet has no off switch.
I have that set. Makes the experience nicer. It was even better (but uglier) when I'd jailbreak and utterly disable animations in the debug menu; simply made it quicker to do stuff cause I wasn't waiting for animations to run. iOS 10 especially made the Music app animations really slow.
Slow down the device.
I'm sure it will work ok on newer IOS devices but it will slow down IOS 11 on older IOS devices.
Only if people are actually sending you these, unless loading the features by itself really takes that much RAM. I've never received one except the day they were released.
Meh, I would much rather they add the option to have a custom background wallpaper from your photos or a couple different color themes and the ability to change the sms bubble colors after 10 years of same old.
Yes, I know they have meanings, blue for iMessage and green for sms but it would take all of one minute to remember the color difference and meaning. Say pink for iMessage, purple for sms, perhaps even light or dark bubbles of the same color you could choose to show the difference.

I M SO LOOKING FORWARD TO SCREEN RECORDING TOO!!I'd be interested in seeing the full effect rather than just a couple screenshots.
EDIT: An hour later, beta installed, and…
EDIT EDIT: Damn, beaten by a few other posters.
I'd reply that YOU'RE WRONG!
Seriously, I don't use this feature and have only gotten a few messages from others that used it, but it being there or having it sent to me doesn't irritate, bother, or offend me. I have nieces literally 1/2 my age that used the firsts batch when they first came out but it quickly dwindled to a once in a great while thing after 2 weeks. And I think that this is who this type of feature is aimed at-young up and coming phone users. Older people prefer using the phone AS a phone, because that's how we used it when we were in our early 20's. It doesn't bother me that some people like bells and whistles.
Edit- removed a superflous "you".
