Animated stickers have the ability to convey a broader range of emotions and actions than static stickers, thus providing a more engaging and exciting user experience.
The idea of making animated stickers arises from the need to improve the level of communication between players. Animated stickers can be more engaging than static stickers on mobile games chat because they have the ability to catch the attention of the user and convey more emotion and personality.
That being said, whether or not animated stickers are more engaging than static stickers ultimately depends on the specific context and audience. I was aware that some users may prefer the simplicity and ease of use of static stickers, while others may enjoy the extra flair and personality that animated stickers provide hence the importance of having both options available (switching between Animated and Classic tabs) I also knew the importance of consider the user's preferences and the overall tone of the conversation when deciding which type of sticker to use.
