Today we are excited to release React Native 0.86!

This release includes comprehensive edge-to-edge support on Android 15+ and improvements in React Native DevTools.

Following 0.83, this is the second React Native release with no user-facing breaking changes, reflecting our continued commitment to making upgrades more predictable and seamless.

A New Home for React Native​

As part of this release, the React, React Native, Metro, Yoga and React Native Website repositories are moving from the facebook GitHub organization to the react organization. This move reflects the transition of React and React Native to the React Foundation, an independent foundation dedicated to the long-term stewardship of the React ecosystem.

GitHub will automatically redirect all existing URLs, issues and PRs to the new location, so no action is required on your part.
