Happy New Year!

No need to add another dependency to implement a native bottom sheet in React Native💡 Just use presentation: "formSheet" from Native Stack 👇

You can now use Shared Element Transitions on the new Architecture with Reanimated 4 reactnavigation.org/docs/shared-el…

This fixes many long-standing bugs in react-native-tab-view and @​react-navigation/material-top-tabs The UIKit implementation had issues with tracking animation progress, resulting in glitches with the tab bar indicator. Try it out in your project if you have these issues.

Say hi to React Native Screens 4.20.0! 🚀 ✔️ formSheet now supports dynamic content size ✔️ Accessibility & testing improvements for bottom tabs ✔️ Fixed library types incompatible with React 4.19.0 ✔️ Crucial fix for invisible or misaligned subviews in headers on iOS

I've been building a demo app with React Navigation 8 to showcase many new features in React Navigation and React Native Screens. It connects to a server that exposes a Subsonic API like Navidrome to play music.

Now you can customize which Material Symbol variant and weight are used in your app in React Navigation 8 with a config in your app's package.json. You can also set it to an empty array - if you don't use Material Symbols and want to reduce bundle size.

Shared Element Transitions in any navigator? 2026 is gonna be wild!

React Navigation 8 now shows deep links that it handles, as well as events from navigators in the logger devtools. It should make it easier to debug what's happening.

We’ve just released React Native Screens 4.21.0 and 4.22.0 🎉 New versions include: ✅ Support for xcassets-based icons on iOS ✅ A range of fixes across iOS, Android, and tvOS; including header item layout and tab bar layout issues on iOS ✅ Improvements to the new native stack

2 useful deep link features in React Navigation - Regex pattern lets you make profile URLs look like `/@​userId` but still support different formats for other top level routes - Path aliases let you map multiple paths to the same screen Works in both static & dynamic configs

React Navigation 8 supports PlatformColor for theming. Using this feature, we now export 2 Android-exclusive themes: - MaterialLightTheme - MaterialDarkTheme These themes use dynamic colors that automatically adapt to the user's wallpaper and theme preferences.

probably the hardest thing I've had the privilege of making was this threads-like shared element transition, built with Expo + React Navigation
