Code with Beto

Five practical React Native tips for 2026: use Pressable (or the Presto library) instead of TouchableOpacity for better press handling and haptics; use platform file extensions (.ios.tsx, .android.tsx) instead of runtime Platform checks for cleaner platform-specific code; prefer form sheets over modals for a more native iOS feel; use FlatList over ScrollView for dynamic or long lists, with contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior set to automatic; and keep route files in the app folder lean by extracting logic into separate components for easier refactoring and scalability.
