-:::info
-
-The Reanimated 2 integration operates on the JS thread. We recommend using Reanimated 3 when possible for better performance and features. For more details, refer to the [Reanimated 3 support section](/docs/animations/animations).
-
-:::
-
-While Reanimated v2 is fully integrated and functional, there are two important caveats to consider:
-* [Animations are executed on the JS thread](#animations-on-the-js-thread)
-* [Working with Host Objects](#working-with-host-objects)
-
-## Animations on the JS Thread
-
-In the example below, the animation runs on the JS thread due to the use of Reanimated v2, even though the animation itself is fairly simple.
-
-```tsx twoslash
-import {useEffect} from "react";
-import {Canvas, Rect, mix} from "@shopify/react-native-skia";
-import {useSharedValue, withRepeat, withTiming, useDerivedValue} from "react-native-reanimated";
-
-const MyComponent = () => {
-  const progress = useSharedValue(0);
-
-  useEffect(() => {
-    progress.value = withRepeat(withTiming(1, { duration: 3000 }), -1, true);
-  }, [progress]);
-
-  const x = useDerivedValue(() => {
-    return mix(progress.value, 0, 100);
-  });
-
-  return (
-    <Canvas style={{ flex: 1 }}>
-      <Rect
-        x={x}
-        y={100}
-        width={10}
-        height={10}
-        color="red"
-      />
-    </Canvas>
-  );
-};
-```
-
-## Working with Host Objects
-
-When your animation involves Skia objects and Reanimated v2, you must ensure that the code explicitly runs on the JS thread. To facilitate this, you can use the `useDerivedValueOnJS` hook.
-
-```tsx twoslash
-import {useDerivedValueOnJS, Skia} from "@shopify/react-native-skia";
-import {useDerivedValue, useSharedValue} from "react-native-reanimated";
-
-const path = Skia.Path.MakeFromSVGString("M 344 172 Q 344 167 343.793 163")!;
-const path2 = Skia.Path.MakeFromSVGString("M 347 169 Q 344 167 349 164")!;
-
-const progress = useSharedValue(0.5);
-
-// ❌ This will crash as it's running on the worklet thread
-useDerivedValue(() => path.interpolate(path2, progress.value));
-
-// ✅ This will work as expected since it runs on the JS thread
-useDerivedValueOnJS(() => path.interpolate(path2, progress.value), [progress]);
-```
-
-Similarly, when using host objects inside a gesture handler, ensure that its execution is on the JS thread:
-
-```tsx twoslash
-import {vec} from "@shopify/react-native-skia";
-import {Gesture} from "react-native-gesture-handler";
-import {useSharedValue} from "react-native-reanimated";
-
-const pos = useSharedValue(vec(0, 0));
-
-// ❌ This will crash as it's running on the worklet thread
-Gesture.Pan().onChange(e => pos.value = vec(e.x, 0));
-
-// ✅ This will work as expected since it runs on the JS thread
-Gesture.Pan().runOnJS(true).onChange(e => pos.value = vec(e.x, 0));
-```

-This integration is available starting from Reanimated v3. If you are using Reanimated v2, refer to the [Reanimated 2 support section](/docs/animations/reanimated2).
+React Native Skia offers integration with [Reanimated v3 and above](https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/), enabling the execution of animations on the UI thread.
 
 React Native Skia supports the direct usage of Reanimated's shared and derived values as properties. There is no need for functions like `createAnimatedComponent` or `useAnimatedProps`; simply pass the Reanimated values directly as properties.
