In my opinion better library for updating date is dayjs or date-fns. Both libraries are light weight. Specially if you are creating social app where I assume you would like to render a lot of dates.

https://date-fns.org/

https://day.js.org/ In dayjs what are you looking for is: dayjs(someDate).fromNow() from is output like this: 3 minutes ago

I have found my answer. It was a single line and easy using 'moment' library here is how I got it:

 let createdAt = moment(moment.now()).fromNow();

for display

<Text> Createdat: {createdAt} </Text>
