You can add padding: 0;
And it will work fine.

Thanks @aryankush25 . Though, from my perspective, padding: 0 works fine when textInput is not focused, but fails to fix when it is in focus.

Still requires discussion/attention.

I don't have the power to add/edit labels.
Please help, stalebot. You are our only hope!

I'm having the same issue on iOS.

The only viable workaround is to set the height of the parent view. If that's not an option, then you can wrap the TextInput with a View and set the height on that, along with alignItems: "center" or justifyContent: "center" depending on the flex direction.

I had same issue on iOS 13.7, iPhone 11 simulator and fix it by adding width.
On same phone with iOS 14.0 is fine without adding width.
