Micro Interaction
Micro Interaction is a small event in an interface that gives feedback or helps a user complete a single task, such as toggling a switch or liking a post. In interface design, micro interactions can use sound, vibration, or color changes to give clear signals to users. These signals help users understand what is happening or what action has been completed. Designers can use micro interactions to make digital products feel more alive and responsive. A unique fact is that micro interactions can be used to teach users how to use a new feature by showing the result of an action right away, which helps people learn without reading instructions.
