I finally fix it. This bug is very unusual. Turns out that the actual size of TextInput’s text is very small.

I can’t see any problems on the simulator. I opened the display layout boundary of the real machine and found that TextInput is too narrow.

In Android, I need to expand the height of the parent container. However, it works well without this config in IOS.

<TouchableOpacity style={{height: 40}}>
  <TextInput />
</TouchableOpacity>

Hey @UZIhuhuhu, thanks for filing - are you able to reproduce in a https://snack.expo.io to rule out any app code that is causing this?
