Description
Hi there,
Just wanted to bring up an issue that many of us have come across. When using TextInput with validation in onChangeText, restricted text still flashes for a moment before it gets removed. This is a pretty common need in apps, where real-time validation is used to guide user input (like blocking specific characters or setting a format). But right now, seeing those restricted characters pop up briefly makes the input feel a bit off.
There are many Workarounds and hacks for this but don’t quite fix the experience entirely. Is there any chance this could be smoothed out natively in the future?
Steps to reproduce

React Native Version
0.76.0
Affected Platforms
Runtime - Android, Runtime - iOS
