UI UPDATES: GOVERNMENT ID CAMERA CAPTURE SCREEN
We’ve changed the animation that plays on the screen where the user is asked to take a photo of their government ID. The previous animation featured a line sweeping back and forth, horizontally. This animation has been replaced with a more subtle sweeping animation around the border of the camera preview frame. The new animation is designed to be performant and distraction-free. It is rendered with custom code for better performance.

We've also added a button to the government id capture screen that displays capture tips when tapped. This change was made to improve the quality of photos captured by the user.

If you have any questions about these changes, please reach out to your CSM.
