Can you explain what is meant by implicit animations in mobile development?

Implicit animations in mobile development are animations that occur automatically when widget or interface element properties change, without explicitly describing the animation process.

In Flutter, for example, if you use widgets like AnimatedContainer, changing its properties (color, size, padding) will automatically animate the transition from the old state to the new one smoothly.

This is convenient because developers do not need to manually create and manage animation controllers — simply changing properties will create a smooth effect.

Example:

AnimatedContainer(
  duration: Duration(seconds: 1),
  width: _selected ? 200 : 100,
  height: _selected ? 200 : 100,
  color: _selected ? Colors.blue : Colors.red,
  child: ...,
)

When _selected changes, the container will smoothly animate its size and color without additional animation code.
