Instead of that, we can enter the content next line which we want to show in the next line like the below example.

import * as React from 'react';
import { View, StyleSheet, Text } from 'react-native';
export default class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View>
        <Text>
          First Line {'\n'} Second Line.
        </Text>
      </View>
    );
  }
}

or we can use the string literal directly in the Text Component text like the below example.

import * as React from 'react';
import { View, StyleSheet, Text } from 'react-native';
export default class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View>
        <Text>
          `First Line  
          Second Line`.
        </Text>
      </View>
    );
  }
}
