You can achieve this by combining the library with @react-native-masked-view/masked-view like so:

<ShimmerProvider>
  <MaskedView
    maskElement={
      <Shimmer
        easing={Easing.linear}
        style={{ backgroundColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)' }}
      />
    }
  >
    <Text>Thinking</Text>
  </MaskedView>
</ShimmerProvider>
