Hello everyone, I have made an onboarding teaser for a new product I am working on. The animation renders correctly on IOS but on Android the text is rendering very poorly. I don’t have any text effects affecting the text. I do however have a mask (on the lower line) and I am adjusting the scale and opacity every so slightly. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. - List item ![Android](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/lottiefiles/original/2X/a/ae5a45963b2b6468d23db9daf76f556a7c68cc07.jpeg) ---

Try converting the text layers to shape layers. ---

Dang! Any chance you can forward both animations to me from a lottie link? ---

Sure here you go, this is the text as shape layers version - [https://app.lottiefiles.com/share/3036eed5-200f-4218-ae38-d1dea65ffcaf](https://app.lottiefiles.com/share/3036eed5-200f-4218-ae38-d1dea65ffcaf) And here is the prior version with no text as shape layers but poor rendering. [https://app.lottiefiles.com/share/a64dff5e-5658-48b7-8af6-98c993970a9e](https://app.lottiefiles.com/share/a64dff5e-5658-48b7-8af6-98c993970a9e) IOS is fine on both. With Shape layers version it is even better (bolding of text comes through). ---

Also I tried the optimise lottie feature T o bring the size down. But now the new JSON doesn’t render on IOS
