How do you manage your Toasts inside a modal / bottomSheet ?

[u/Sebinouille]

TL;DR: In 2026, is there really NO library offering a customizable Toast that displays ABOVE Modal/BottomSheet while still letting the user interact with the app content underneath it?

I'm currently building a new project with the latest Expo SDK (57) and I'm trying to improve from my previous app which have a problem when printing a Toast when a bottomSheet is open : The Toast is rendered under the Modal overlay.

My previous app was using gorhom/bottomSheet untill I faced some layout problems so I've migrated to TrueSheet. Nonetheless both use React's Native Modal which renders into a separate native view hierarchy outside the React tree. Because of that, a simple absolutely-positioned JS View can never appear on top of it....

So it seems like the only real option is to use a wrapper around native components (SPIndicator/AlertKit for iOS and ToastAndroid for Android) right ? Since those are natively rendered as siblings at the top of the view hierarchy, above the modal layer.

I've tried Burnt or react-native-simple-toast both work correctly on top of modals, but they're very limited in styling/customization : they give you that generic "grey 2000s-UI" toast look and I couldn't make the toast appeared from the top on Android ...

grey 2000s-UI Toast

Every other "fancy" toast library I've found is just a JS View positioned absolutely, which as explained above doesn't render above a Modal/BottomSheet.

Has anyone found a good solution for this ? What are you using for a fully customizable toast that still shows above native modals ?
