const Overlay = props =>{
    return(
        <View style={styles.overlay}>
            <View style={styles.center}>
                <RNMorphingText color={"#ffffff"} size={22} effect={"scale"}>{props.text}</RNMorphingText>
            </View>
        </View>
    )
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
    overlay : {
        
        backgroundColor : "rgba(0,0,0,0.8)",
        position : "absolute",
        
        top : 0,
        left : 0,
        bottom : 0,
        right : 0,
        zIndex : 5
    },

    center : {
        alignItems : "center",
        justifyContent : "center"
    }
});

export default Overlay;

Thanks @cinder92 for raising the issue and sharing the snippet.

I have tried the same source in example app and it is working as expected. Can you please share the style of parent component to which you are adding this overlay.

Please reference below my test snippet:

/**
 * Sample React Native App
 * https://github.com/facebook/react-native
 * @flow
 */

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
  Platform,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View
} from 'react-native';

import RNMorphingText from 'react-native-morphing-text'

type Props = {};
export default class App extends Component<Props> {
  constructor (props) {
    super(props)

    this.state = {
      value: 1
    }
  }
  
  componentDidMount () {
    setInterval(() => {
     this.setState({ value: this.state.value + 1 });
    }, 1000)
  }

  render() {
    return <View style={styles.container}>
        <View style={styles.overlay}>
          <View style={styles.center}>
            <RNMorphingText color={"#ffffff"} size={22} effect={"scale"}>
              {this.state.value.toString()}
            </RNMorphingText>
          </View>
        </View>
      </View>;
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF',
  },
  overlay: {
    backgroundColor: "rgba(0,0,0,0.8)",
    position: "absolute",

    top: 0,
    left: 0,
    bottom: 0,
    right: 0,
    zIndex: 5
  },
  center: {
    alignItems: "center",
    justifyContent: "center"
  }
});

Thanks </ Pranav >
