In the Google Play Store there are a lot of launchers with numerous customization features. With these, we can change the appearance of the interface of our phones in a thousand ways, as well as add animations to icons and more.
Many of the launchers that we can find for Android are somewhat aggressive, something that is not always good for a large portion of users, since not everyone wants a totally different interface from the one that already came with the phone thanks to the native customization of it. For these users, and especially for those who seek animate app icons, there is the app that we talk about next.
Osmino Launcher is the application with which you can make app icons have animation
Although in the Google Play Store this launcher is named as Live Icon Launcher for Android, originally it is known as Osmino Launcher. This application is free, has a weight of approximately 12 MB and has more than a million downloads in the store, with a rating of 4.5 stars based on more than 20.000 opinions.

Most of the applications will have animations once you have installed this launcher. These include those of Google (Gmail, Duo, Chrome and Youtube, among others), the native ones of the smartphone and others like Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook and even games like Brawl Stars. There are some others that do not support animations, it is worth noting.
There is an option that allows us to configure the time for the application icons to sleep, either after about 10 minutes or 3 hours. There is also a store inside the launcher that allows us to add new effects and animations. [Discover: 2 Android Launchers with minimalist style that are light and productive]
Of course, keep in mind that having the animations activated can affect the battery life and the performance of the mobile, since the app will consume RAM and CPU while it is running.
