Main issue: The OP wanted to replicate two “animated circles” from the Shopify Narrative theme on mobile that prompt tapping to reveal content. They could implement the tap-to-reveal behavior but didn’t know how to create the circle animation or what it’s called. An attached GIF illustrated the effect and was central for context.
Suggestions offered: One reply advised contacting the theme provider (Shopify) for guidance, linking to Shopify support. Another offered to help if the OP shared their site URL for review.
Outcome: The OP later confirmed they solved the animation themselves using CSS keyframes (a technique for defining intermediate steps in CSS animations). No code snippets or detailed steps were shared.
Status: Resolved by the OP. No further action items identified; unanswered only in the sense that naming the exact animation pattern wasn’t established.

I was watching the Narrative Theme and I saw a feature on mobile that I would like to implement in my theme:
Basically it’s two “animated circles” that suggests the customer to click to reveal content. I know how to do the “click to reveal content” but I am not sure how to implement those two animated circles. Does anybody have an idea? I don’t even know how those are called
Since each theme has its own different element, the theme provider is best equipped with the knowledge of how to customize it. I suggest you to contact your theme provider for the solution.
