So I've opened up my react-native app in Expo today (using the iOS simulator) and I am creating by what looks like a debugging overlay.

Screenshot here: enter image description here

I don't need this and it's blocking some of the UI for testing.

How does one turn it off?

You have the Element Inspector open. To toggle it off do either:

  • ⌘+D if you are in the simulator
  • Shake your phone if you are on an actual device

This should open up the debugging menu. You can then click on Toggle Element Inspector to close it.
