Position of placeholder text in (multiline) TextInput for Android (React Native)

Question

I've got a multi-line TextInput like so:

<TextInput
  multiline={true}
  placeholder='Enter description...'
  underlineColorAndroid={'transparent'}
>

On iOS it renders the placeholder text nicely per this screenshot.

On Android, it's putting the placeholder text as centered vertically! I've checked and there are no styles in any parent component that would force this behavior (again iOS is fine as per the screenshot).

Is there a way to justify that placeholder text to the top of the frame (same as iOS) ?

got it, used this prop: textAlignVertical={'top'}
