Animation in Expo

Builds animation for React Native and Expo apps with Reanimated, Gesture Handler, Expo Router and haptics, making the decisions that decide whether motion feels right on a device.

When to use it

  • You are adding gestures, sheets, screen transitions or press feedback to an Expo app.
  • Motion stutters on a real device and you need it on the right thread.
  • You want haptics that match what the interface is doing.

For animation on the web, use Web animation.

A practical example

You ask

“Make the bottom sheet follow my finger and settle with a spring when I let go.”


Your agent does

It wires the drag with Gesture Handler, runs the motion on the UI thread with Reanimated and hands off velocity to a spring.
