Focusing on TextInput programmatically doesn't start also editing with keyboard

Hello

I have created a ref to TextInput as follows :

<TextInput
			ref={inputRef}
			style={styles.textInput}
			label='Update reason here..'
			value={reason}
			onChangeText={text => setReason(text)}
/>

and tried something like this :

const inputRef = useRef()
	
useEffect(()=>{
	console.log(inputRef.current)
	inputRef.current.focus()
},[])

But it just focuses the TextInput

I need it also to show the keyboard like below instead of the user having to manuallytap on the TextInput in order for it to show the keyboard :
