You have to add a position absolute which will make the tabbar stay inside the border

tabBarOptions={{
          activeTintColor: 'red',
          inactiveTintColor: 'black',
          showLabel: false,
          style: {
            borderWidth: 0.5,
            borderBottomWidth: 1,
            backgroundColor: 'red',
            borderTopLeftRadius: 20,
            borderTopRightRadius: 20,
            borderColor: 'grey',
            position: 'absolute'
          },
        }}>
