# React Native Animation using Hooks: Floating Heads

**[Hashnode](https://daily.dev/sources/hashnode)** · [@iamshadmirza](https://daily.dev/iamshadmirza) · 8 min read · 13 upvotes · 3 comments

## Summary

We will build Facebook messenger's floating heads using Animated library and Hooks. The topmost head will receive gesture and move, then we will animate the other 3 heads one by one to the first head's new position. There will be a slight delay in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th heads so we can get our trailing effect.
