iPhone 7/7+ iOS 10 app close animation

Found a potential fix for the lag! Happened to me if I had a app and double clicked to get rid of it. Go to general in settings, accessibility, home button and set it to "slow" rather than default. Hope it helps
Not really a fix. It may not do the jumping animation anymore, but it doesn't fix the closing animation and it actually slows your phone down because it takes a few more milliseconds before the animation starts after hitting the home button.
Well it's potential fix if you always close your apps after using them, hopefully an update will fix this problem.
I don't personally do that but, I know people who do and this may be a fix for them. Hence why I said it's a "potential fix" because some may prefer a slightly slower way of closing apps over a jumpy animation.
I never understood why people feel the need to close each app after using it. They're not only making more work for themselves but they're also making more work for their device because now it has to load the entire app again to the memory each time it's opened. They're also using more battery by doing this.
If I leave Tapatalk or Facebook in the background, it will kill my battery. I've done tests and found that even with background refresh and location off for said apps, they'll still take up over 30% of my battery sitting. Unless I force close them.
Not for me. I have Facebook, but leaving it open doesn't affect my battery.
Well I'm not sure what to tell you besides that my result was different than yours. Under a controlled test with no other variables than Facebook and Tapatalk, I found those apps to force run in the background even with that setting disabled.
I did the tests out of curiosity as my 6s would die so fast but doing the test on my 7+ yielded similar battery drain under same circumstance.
If it helps, I don't use notifications for Facebook. No badges and no push notifications.
Maybe 10.3 will fix this?
[doublepost=1485282592][/doublepost]Can anyone report whether the animation bug is fixed on 10.3?

It is fixed. Confirmed. Closing apps is instant with no lag. Reminds me of iOS 6 speed. No exaggeration
Say that again...
A lot of people are saying it's fixed. If it was just one person I wouldn't believe it.
Sorry I should have worded it different. I meant to stay is the stutter gone; I understand that closing them is instantaneous now with no lag after pressing the button, but I am curious if they've fixed the stutter within the actual animation that it had before.
[doublepost=1485286985][/doublepost]It's fixed!!!!! No stutter at all! Wow it's fast too. Bravo Apple you finally fixed it

No seriously it is. I had a hard time believing it too but it is actually fixed this time. SO MUCH BETTER, I love it.
I just saw a video of the new animation and the opening animation looks exactly like the closing animation. It's one single speed the whole way through. Looks great now!
Well it took Apple over 5 months to fix this bug! I thought it was hardware-related which makes it impossible to fix, so good to see the stutter now gone.
I hope iOS 10.3 fixes the memory management bug/memory leak (which not many people have noticed btw) that has been there since iOS 10.0.
I miss iOS 9's memory management , but I'm afraid Apple did it intentionally to save battery life or something.
