                           value={picker[mode] ?? new Date()} 
                     />
                 )
             }
        </>
    )
}

Beacuse i m working on android. So i have no option for set mode "datetime". That is why i have added here this. My question is how to get human readable datetime

Maybe look at this lib https://date-fns.org

Here's how I use it :

//IMPORT FIRST 
import { format } from 'date-fns';
import { fr } from 'date-fns/locale';

//THEN IN YOUR JSX
           <Text>
           {format(dateValue, 'dd MMMM yyyy', { locale: fr })}
           </Text>
