If you fall under the 20% iOS device users who upgraded to iOS9 during the first availability, you must be aware of the ongoing issues at hand. Apple has only responded to one of the issues on how to fix a bricked iPhone stuck on "Slide to Upgrade" screen. Other issues such as sluggishness, sudden crashes remain unsolved or unattended. But the victims of iOS 9 problems can try a few tricks to overcome what appears to be a nightmare.
After upgrading to iOS 9 if your iDevice appears to be slow or showing signs of lag, try these steps that lie within your device settings for a fix.
Fix Animation Lag
Step 1: Go to Settings
Step 2: Select General
Step 3: Choose Accessibility
Step 4: Tap Increase Contrast option from the menu
Step 5: Turn on Reduce Transparency
By reducing the transparency on your iPhone or iPad, the blur effects will be cut down throughout the OS. As a result, there will be less strain on the CPU, which can boost the performance of your device. Users will lose out on the attractive blurs that comes with iOS 9 but at the cost of a good performance, which should be a deal worth considering.
