+## Tips and Tricks
+
+### How can I increase the height of the tab ?
+
+For android and IOS, simply pass `prop.style`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "height": number
+}
+```
+
+For react-native-web, additionally pass :
+
+```json
+{
+  "paddingVertical": number,
+  or
+  "height": number
+}
+```
+
+### Adding padding makes text disappear on Android
+
+If padding amount exceeds the fixed height of the container, it will shrink the text. So either increase the height or reduce your padding.
