Phones, tablets, and foldables have status bars, notches, camera cutouts, rounded corners, gesture home indicators, and navigation bars. A React Native screen that looks fine on one simulator can still hide content under system UI on another device.

The modern solution is react-native-safe-area-context. The older SafeAreaView exported from React Native core is deprecated and should not be the default choice for new work.
