React Native WebView is a community-maintained WebView component for React Native. It is intended to be a replacement for the built-in WebView (which was removed from core).
Maintaining WebView is very complex because it is often used for many different use cases (rendering SVGs, PDFs, login flows, and much more). We also support many platforms and both architectures of react-native.
Since WebView was extracted from the React Native core, nearly 500 pull requests have been merged.
Considering that we have limited time, issues will mostly serve as a discussion place for the community, while we will prioritize reviewing and merging pull requests.
This project is compatible with iOS, Android, Windows and macOS.
This project supports both the old (paper) and the new architecture (fabric).
This project is compatible with expo.
Read our Getting Started Guide. If any step seems unclear, please create a pull request.
This project follows semantic versioning. We do not hesitate to release breaking changes but they will be in a major version.
Import the WebView component from react-native-webview and use it like so:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { WebView } from 'react-native-webview';
// ...
const MyWebComponent = () => {
return <WebView source={{ uri: 'https://reactnative.dev/' }} style={{ flex: 1 }} />;
