Welcome to Part 17 of the React Native Expo Go – Travel Personal Assistant App series! In this session, we’ll build a custom Loading Screen to display while the app fetches data from APIs or prepares the UI for the user.

A polished loading experience improves perceived performance and makes your app feel more professional and responsive.

✅ What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✔️ Creating a clean and animated loading screen
✔️ Using conditional rendering to trigger the loader
✔️ Implementing icons or spinners using libraries like react-native-activity-indicator or Lottie
✔️ Styling the screen with Tailwind for responsiveness
✔️ Integrating the loader into async API calls for travel data

💡 Why This Step Matters:
🔹 Improves UX during network calls and slow connections
🔹 Keeps users informed with visual feedback
🔹 Builds trust and professionalism into the app
🔹 Prepares for handling future loading states globally
