We are facing the same issue since 0.73.0. do we have any solution to this?

I am currently on React Native 0.71.1 and tried to update to React Native 0.74.2.After upgrade facing memory leak. Memory usage keeps on increasing. With version 0.72 also there is no leak faced. But from version 0.73 facing memory leak.

Can you try to update incrementally (first to 0.72 and then 0.73) and mention where you notice this regression?

[satheshrgs-rksv]

Facing this issue from 0.73 version. 72.x works fine
