If you previously tried implementing a shape morphing effect in Compose, you may notice that it usually requires many lines of code.

This example shows how to manually implement change morph between a triangle and a square.

And then you need to also implement the animation between these two.

In this example, we perform an infinite morphing animation between the two, but a lot of the time, we'd also like to tie into the interaction source for button press morphing.

It is quite a lot of code for this effect.

But today, I have not just one but two pieces of good news for you.

The first one is that you can now bring the cool shape morphing effect into your various apps with the new Compose Material 3 for Wear OS, adding a delightful touch to your UI.

The second one is that there are a number of Compose Material 3 components that greatly simplify implementation morphing on Wear OS.
