React Native / Expo: How to update logged in user data

[varandpez]

Hi, I’ve been studying Auth0 docs, management APIs and react-native-auth0 library and still can’t do simple update after user is logged in in my app.
I’ve successfully prompted the universal login and have the user authenticated, and sent back to my app. Now imagine I want to show a simple input to the user to update their nickname.

What is the fastest way to accomplish this? does react-native-auth0 provide such a method? I can’t find any in the source code nor in their limited docs.
What are the best practices here considering that this is an expo app,
I really need some help here. thank you in advance.
