What is SafeArea
-
SafeArea?
Area of the app screen that is not covered by elements like the status bar, navigation bar, notches, or home indicators. Content placed within the safe area is guaranteed to be visible and not obstructed by operating system or hardware interfaces. This is particularly important for devices with irregular screen shapes, such as iPhones with notches or Android devices with rounded corners.
UnSafeArea?
Area of the screen that may be covered by the status bar, navigation bar, notches, or other system UI elements. Content placed in the unsafe area may not be fully visible or accessible to the use
SafeAreaView Component
-
Component provided by React Native that automatically adjusts its child content to stay within the safe area boundaries of the screen.
When to use SafeAreaView?
When you want to ensure that your content is visible and not obscured by system UI elements (e.g., notches, status bars, home indicators).
When not to use SafeAreaView?
When your content does not need to avoid system UI elements (e.g., internal components that are already within a safe area).
SafeAreaProvider
-
