I fixed it when using scrollTo in my component in a hacky way by introducing a 200ms delay or so on android.

Hey @eoghanmccarthy please use useScrollView into your Carousel component, it will solve your problem.

<Carousel data={photos} renderItem={this._renderItem} sliderWidth={sliderWidth} itemWidth={itemWidth} firstItem={this.state.selectedIndex} contentContainerCustomStyle={styles.sliderContentContainer} layout={"default"} loop={true} onSnapToItem={slideIndex => this.setState({ selectedIndex: slideIndex }) } useScrollView />

Sorry, please allow me to advertise for my open source library! ~ I think this library react-native-reanimated-carousel will solve your problem. It is a high performance and very simple component, complete with React-Native reanimated 2
