- When you change the `sv.value` Reanimated will update the styles and keep the shared value in sync between the threads. However, this won't trigger a typical React re-render because a shared value is a plain JavaScript object.

- When you read the `sv.value` on the [JavaScript thread](/docs/fundamentals/glossary#javascript-thread), the thread will get blocked until the value is fetched from the [UI thread](/docs/fundamentals/glossary#ui-thread). In most cases it will be negligible, but if the UI thread is busy or you are reading a value multiple times, the wait time needed to synchronize both threads may significantly increase.

- When you change the `sv.value` the update will happen synchronously on the [UI thread](/docs/fundamentals/glossary#ui-thread). On the other hand, on the [JavaScript thread](/docs/fundamentals/glossary#javascript-thread) the update is asynchronous. This means when you try to immediately log the `value` after the change it will log the previously stored value.
