React Native – useState not updating immediatly

I’m trying to update my state when onLongPress triggered.
I’m printing the result right after the setState but it shows nothing (on the first press)
Code:

const [pressedImagesm setPressedImages] = useState([]);
...
onLongPress={() => {
          setPressedImages(oldArray => [...oldArray, { [index]: true }]);
          console.log(pressedImages);
}}

    That’s because setPressedImages does not update the state object (pressedImages) directly. Instead, it adds this update to a queue, and the updated state is reflected on the next render of your component.

    This is a pretty common React question – there’s a lot of helpful content out there that explains it in more detail (such as this article or this SO question).

    try this:

    const [pressedImages, setPressedImages] = useState([]);
...
onLongPress={() => {
   const cloneArray = [...pressedImages];
   cloneArray.push({ [index]: true });
   setPressedImages(cloneArray);
}}

console.log('Updated pressedImages:', pressedImages);
