To solve this problem, you just need to use this dependency:

https://github.com/kadiraydinli/react-native-system-navigation-bar

You use it as follows:

import SystemNavigationBar from 'react-native-system-navigation-bar';

export default function App() {
  useEffect(() => {
    SystemNavigationBar.setFitsSystemWindows(false);
    SystemNavigationBar.setNavigationColor(#COLOR);
  }, []);

  return (
    //YOUR CODE
  )
}
