TextInput should correct update selection

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository:

   onSelectionChange = ({ nativeEvent: { selection } }) => this.setState({ selection });

   <TextInput
                    ref={ref => this.inputRef = ref}
                    style={styles.messageInput}
                    maxLength={maxMessageLength}
                    multiline
                    blurOnSubmit={false}
                    onSelectionChange={this.onSelectionChange}
                    selection={this.state.selection}
                    selectionColor={blueBase}
                    onChangeText={this.onChangeText}
                    value={this.state.message}
                    autoCapitalize="none"
                    underlineColorAndroid={transparent}
                    placeholder={this.getPlaceholderMessage()}
                    placeholderTextColor={grayDarkTransparent(0.35)}
                    editable={!this.state.isVoiceRecording}
                />
