FOR EXPO USERS: Is your phone in dark mode? If it is, then the text color is actually white but the background didn’t change. I had to use their customstyles prop named datePickerCon with a background-color that changes depending on if the device is iOS and is in darkmode using Appearance API https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/appearance/

<DatePicker ... customStyles={{ ... datePickerCon: { backgroundColor: 'black', }, }} />
