React native navigation v5 tab press not working

You need to listen/subscribe "tabPress" event as below in your component.

React.useEffect(() => {
  const unsubscribe = navigation.addListener('tabPress', e => {
    // Prevent default behavior
    e.preventDefault();

    // Do something manually
    // ...
  });

  return unsubscribe;
}, [navigation]);

I found something new in documentation, that i have not seen before, this is the way to add listener to screen, every time user clicks on tab, it goes to first stack screen inside this tab

https://reactnavigation.org/docs/navigation-events/#listeners-prop-on-screen

<Tab.Screen 
  name="DeviceNavigatorTab" 
  component={DeviceNavigator} 
  listeners={({ navigation, route }) => ({
    tabPress: e => {
      if (route.state && route.state.routeNames.length > 0) {
          navigation.navigate('Device')
      }
    },
  })}
/>
