Hi @rahulpatracropsly, thank you for reporting this! Use [MapboxMap.beginAnimation()](https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/maps/api/11.4.0/documentation/mapboxmaps/mapboxmap/beginanimation()) to improve label placement during an animation, it should be balanced with [MapboxMap.endAnimation()](https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/maps/api/11.4.0/documentation/mapboxmaps/mapboxmap/endanimation()) after the animation ends.

Could you post a code that you use for camera animation?

hi @evil159 thanks for replying! here is my code which i'm using for animate the camera

let newCamera = CameraOptions(center: coordinate,
                                                  padding: padding,
                                                  zoom: lastZoomLevel,
                                                  bearing: CLLocationDirection(floatLiteral: newHeading),
                                                  pitch: newPitch)
mapView.camera.fly(to: newCamera, duration: 1.0)

Thank you for the code @rahulpatracropsly, if I understood your setup correctly, the issue is that you are performing a series of 1 second animations, you'd be better served with one continuous animation. If your goal is for camera to follow the location puck I can suggest using viewport API, namely FollowPuckViewportState.
