Why the change

After sending, the bubble's flight from the composer into the list felt too linear and too long: 360 ms on a plain CSS ease-out (0, 0, 0.58, 1). This change follows Telegram's send transition (TextMessageEnterTransition and ChatListItemAnimator in DrKLO/Telegram):

• Duration: 250 ms (ChatListItemAnimator.DEFAULT_DURATION).
• Horizontal: EASE_OUT_QUINT followed by EASE_OUT, so the sideways move finishes early and sharply.
• Vertical and backdrop fade: Telegram's list curve (0.199, 0.011, 0.279, 0.91).

Special things to note

Progress now runs linearly, and each axis applies its own curve inside the animated style. Reduce Motion still skips the flight.

Native verification

• iPhone XS Max, Release, 60 fps recording, A = 21adebc, B = e8f4f97. Visible motion per send went from 0.29 s to 0.22 s for a short message and from 0.44 s to 0.40 s for a two-line message. No glitches.
• iOS 27 Simulator, Release e8f4f97. Text sizes default, XXL and accessibility XXXL, each in light and dark. All six sends landed correctly in the bubble, and the send button stays reachable at the largest size. The text size and appearance were set with simctl and restored afterwards. One composer label was garbled by the Simulator's pinyin keyboard, which is unrelated to this change.
• Android: blocked. No Android SDK, emulator or adb is available on the test Mac. Android uses the same SendFlyFrame with the Android decelerate curve no longer applied. It still needs a device check before Android release.

Change outline

• apps/mobile/src/ui/design/tokens.ts: sendFly gains vertical, horizontal and settle curves, and its duration drops to 250 ms.
• apps/mobile/src/ui/chat/send-fly-frame.tsx: separate horizontal and vertical easing.
• apps/mobile/test/reanimated-shim.ts: adds Easing.bezierFn.
• changes/ios-send-bubble-motion.md: changelog fragment.

Walkthrough

The send animation now lasts 250 ms and uses separate easing curves for vertical motion, horizontal motion, and settling. The frame applies these curves to its translations and backdrop opacity. The changelog describes the update in English and Chinese.

Add coverage for intermediate flight positions.

This shim makes all three curves linear. The supplied frame tests also exercise only measurement failures, so they cannot detect incorrect curve wiring. Add a test that checks both translations and backdrop opacity at intermediate progress using independently verified curve values.

Add a frame test that advances a flight to intermediate progress and asserts both translations and backdrop opacity against independently verified curve values. Ensure the test exercises the actual curve wiring rather than relying on the shim’s linear bezierFn, which makes all three curves indistinguishable.

This change only touches the timing curves. The offsets still come from the measured composer and bubble frames, so text size changes the distance the bubble travels, not how the flight is computed. The real-device before/after recording on the iPhone XS Max is in progress, and the change will merge only after the owner signs off on it. Text-size and theme passes have not been run yet, and I'm not reporting them as passed. Android goes through the same component, so the shorter timing applies there too, but Android has not been checked on a device.

@DoodleBears Thanks for clarifying. The offsets use the measured frames, and the iPhone XS Max recording is still in progress. The text-size and theme checks are unrun, including Android.

The applicable repository guidance in apps/mobile/AGENTS.md requires the native text-size matrix for changed UI, including motion changes. Please record each default, intermediate, and maximum text-size case in light and dark themes on both platforms. Include matched screenshots and send-interaction outcomes, or mark each case as blocked or unrun with its next check. The iOS recording and owner sign-off do not establish Android acceptance.

## Profiling
Performance work follows the mandatory [iOS performance tuning and physical-device verification
(AX)](../../docs/agents/ios-performance.md) workflow: validate the workload, capture the relevant
JS/React/native/display layer, attribute the cause, make the smallest change and run a matched
physical Release A/B pair (A/B/B/A/A/B only when the difference is close), with short, bounded captures. Keep Simulator, physical Release and Human QA results
separate, and preserve failed/invalid samples.

Source excerpt:
# iOS performance tuning and physical-device verification (AX)

## Capture the layer that can answer the question

### Measurement overhead and helper limitations

Do not log, allocate unbounded objects, bridge to JS or change list heights every frame merely
to measure performance. Use bounded native buffers and flush after the scenario when probes
are necessary. Check probe-on/off overhead and keep instrumentation identical across A/B.
CADisplayLink timestamps describe callbacks/deadlines; they do not prove every frame was presented.

The native checks are now recorded in the PR description:

• iOS: the default, XXL and accessibility XXXL × light/dark matrix ran on an iOS 27 Simulator (Release), and all six sends landed correctly. A before/after recording was also made on a physical XS Max.
• Android: blocked, because no SDK or emulator is available on the test machine. It is listed as an explicit blocker and still needs a check.

@DoodleBears Thanks. The PR description now records the six iOS Simulator sends, the physical XS Max recording, and the Android blocker.

The retrieved mobile review guidance requires matched images and a runnable next check for blocked captures. Please:

• Embed matched, commit-pinned before/after images for the six iOS cases, or record any blocked captures and their next check.
• Add a runnable next check for the Android text-size and theme matrix. Android acceptance remains unverified.
