Menu opening animation only 60 fps

[ondrejnedoma]

Current behaviour

When opening or closing a Menu component, the animation is capped at 60 fps, which is very obvious on my Redmi note 11, a 90 hz screen device.

Expected behaviour

The animation framerate should adjust to the device's refresh rate.

How to reproduce?

1. Create a Menu component that is openable
2. Run the app on a device with a high refresh rate screen.
3. Observe that the opening and closing animations are running at 60 fps

Preview

The Android screen recorder is capped at 60 fps, this has to be experienced on a real high refresh rate device (or maybe an emulator on a high refresh rate monitor)

What have you tried so far?

I thought that this is an issue of all React Native, but things like the ActivityIndicator or TextInput seem to be running 90 fps just fine. So this is likely an issue specifically the Menu animation.

Has it still not been optimized? This is an issue raised in 2023, and it's now September 2025.

things like the ActivityIndicator or TextInput is also running at 60FPS, They are too small to feel the real FPS.. you need to scale up the component to watch the animation and you will feel it is 60FPS.

a good one is ReactNativePaperExample APP contains a bigger enough loading icon that already written in.
