+1 here. workaround for me is to track, if menu is open somehow and then disable all other elements or put an absolute view over the rest to block the touch event. not a good solution though. Someone has other ideas? Is this a bug report or feature request?

@zollipaul this is a big issue, leading to thoughts to replace this package :-(

I wrapped the component this way

import { useState } from "react";
import { Pressable, ViewStyle, View, Dimensions } from "react-native";
import { MenuView, MenuComponentProps } from "@react-native-menu/menu";
import { Portal } from "@gorhom/portal";

export type MenuProps = MenuComponentProps;

export default function Menu({ children, ...props }: MenuProps) {
  const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);

  const onPressAction: MenuComponentProps["onPressAction"] = ({ nativeEvent }) => {
    setIsOpen(false);
    props.onPressAction?.({ nativeEvent });
  };

  return (
    <MenuView {...props} onPressAction={onPressAction}>
      <Pressable onPress={() => setIsOpen(true)}>{children}</Pressable>
      <Portal>
        {isOpen && <Pressable style={absoluteViewStyle} onPress={() => setIsOpen(false)} />}
      </Portal>
    </MenuView>
  );
}

const screenSize = Dimensions.get("screen");

const absoluteViewStyle: ViewStyle = {
  position: "absolute",
  top: 0,
  left: 0,
  width: screenSize.width,
  height: screenSize.height,

  zIndex: 999,
};

And it makes it work more as you would expect, at least on ios, haven't tried it on android
