Hi, @mos379 - thanks for submitting this issue! Have you tried running on other versions of iOS? If it looks different, would you be able to share relevant screenshots?

Also, if you could share your project or a sample project reproducing this issue, that would be incredibly helpful in helping us to better understand the issue. Thank you! :)

I attached the sample project. It is the basic template from Visual studio where I added a datepicker in the mainPage and added a custom renderer wfor setting up the inline mode for the picker.

I'm currently not able to test on a different OS version PickerIssue.zip

I came across the same issue the day I updated iOS app to Xamarin.Forms 5.0.0.1874. Build 5.0.0.1874 'forced' the UIDatePickerStyle.Automatic, which is same as .Compact. The .Automatic look and feel is quite ugly, and confusing for the end user. I implement a Custom renderer for unrelated Date issue #13366, so I tried the .Inline style - not usable. Xamarin.Forms 5.0.0.1931'forces' UIDatePickerStyle.Wheels. My best guess, it was an awkward workaround the unsightly
UIDatePickerStyle.Compact. Since I use a CustomRenderer for the DatePicker anyway, I'd prefer the .Inline style work as expected. I currently settled for .Automatic as more functional than .Wheels . It took Apple a while to figure out end users need to know the Day of Week when selecting. Wheels doesn't show Day of Week, besides being cumbersome to use.

@mos379 thanks for the sample and @mikebikerider thanks for sharing! I'm able to reproduce the behavior you're experiencing

Hi all,

I am also experiencing this. Any workaround for the moment? With a renderer of some sort.

Thank you very much

Any update so far?. I also experiencing the same. Thanks to @mikebikerider , by using .automatic style , can solve this issue, but the .automatic behaviour was not what i expected.
