We showcased how the Instagram and Facebook VR apps have been entirely written with React Native.
This allowed us to reuse much code from web, while also allowing new capabilities such as parallax effects on Instagram.

React Native is also supporting several emerging AI use cases such as @vercel V0, @MistralAI Le Chat or @Replit which are written in React Native.
Those apps demonstrate how React Native can reduce the time to market for new AI use cases.

Migrating to React Native's New Architecture (2025) - Shopify
Shopify successfully migrated two of its largest apps, Shopify Mobile and Shopify Point of Sale (POS) to React Native's New Architecture while maintaining weekly releases and serving millions of merchants. This migration involved a complex codebase with hundreds of screens and native modules, extensive custom components, and deep integration with first-party libraries like FlashList.

Removing the Legacy Architecture comes with clear benefits:
- Smaller app bundles, up to 1Mb reduction
- Faster from-source builds (from 300s to 140s on iOS)
- Simpler mental model
If you haven't enabled New Architecture yet, we recommend upgrading to 0.81, enabling, then moving to 0.82.
