The basics of navigation

Navigation in React Native is crucial because it manages the transition between different screens in an app. It improves user experience by organizing the app’s flow logically, allowing users to intuitively understand how to access features and information. Effective navigation makes an app feel quick and responsive, reducing frustration and increasing user engagement. It also supports the app’s architecture, making it easier to scale and maintain by clearly defining how components are linked and interact.
