However, i can't see how to fetch posts from the page, please note that it's a public page.

How could i fetch posts from a facebook public page using react native?

Before stepping into ReactNative, you should first plan how to fetch data from facebook.

Facebook offers the Graph API, which suits your needs.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/

Here is the docs specifically for Facebook pages.

The response from the API is usually in JSON format, then you can use the fetch API of javascript in ReactNative.

I strongly suggest doing the API calls on your server tho.
