What is React Native?
In 2015, Facebook introduced an open-source JavaScript library for developing native apps for different platforms like Android and iOS. It uses UI elements to build fool-proof apps that are being used by millions of users online. This JavaScript Framework

Tesla is the leading electric vehicle manufacturer, and even it announced that it would use React Native in its mobile app’s code. The users of Tesla use the app daily, and continuous betterment is necessary to meet users’ expectations.
Conclusion:
React Native is not only used by big companies that have billions of resources. Many small startups also use it as it has multiple benefits. It saves a lot of time as compared to native app developing frameworks. So, if you are thinking about creating a new app and don't know who to ask, React Native is here to help.
