The confetti emoji is always a bit annoying for me as often I forget to track my prayers for a few days or I track isha when I've prayed fajr and the wait, even though it's small, can get annoying. I have thought of 3 different ways of altering this so it is less annoying and they are as follows:

1. Having a button to simply turn off the confetti emoji that can be found in the settings. This, to my knowledge, would be the easiest option. I also believe that this option would work with 2 and 3 as for some users of the app it might not be the few seconds of delay when the emoji comes up that annoys them but rather the emoji itself. That way, these users can still be accommodated for if another of the options is put in place; and if they aren't then people like me can still benefit.

2. Having a less intrusive sort of congratulations such as confetti coming down from the screen, similarly to what be done on iMessage, or like the Instagram super reactions where a bunch of the emoji fall from the top. The user would be able to keep using the app whilst this is happening and it would quickly disappear and not stop the screen. This in my opinion depends on the execution as to whether it's good or bad. The whole design behind the app is simplicity and minimalism and this could easily feel out of place on the app as it doesn't work with the design language of the app well, something that the current option does do well as the single confetti is a good minimalist approach.

3. Having the confetti emoji disappear as soon as another tap is registered. This in my opinion would be the best option as the current design isn't bad in my opinion. The only thing is is that swipes would also have to be able to be performed whilst the emoji is still up as if only a single tap was registered and then the emoji disappears and then you could perform any movements, a lot of people would be annoyed as the swipes they make would have to be redone.

Overall I believe that the best option would be 1 + 3 however 1 + 2 has the potential to be lots better of the design is thought out well. If there is a lack of resources or a simpler method needs to be implemented I think just 1 would suffice.
