Bug, A11y: animated emojis are animated in emoji drawer even with "animate custom emojis" turned off #2820

I have "animate custom emojis" turned off in the app settings and my phone settings, but they are still animated in the emoji drawer.

I'm not sure if it's a Tusky bug or Android bug.

Tusky Version: 19.0
Android Version: 13
Android Device: Google Pixel 4a
Mastodon instance (if applicable): n/a

That is a Tusky thing, but it is actually deliberate. Because there could be an emoji that changes its meaning during the animation and that would led to embarassing posts.

I think it is more important to respect animation settings because people with light-sensitive epilepsy use it to prevent seizures.

Re: emojis with different meanings animated/still. You could say the same thing about animated emojis that change meaning when they are still. That's going to happen for some people, too.
