-These are similar to react's `componentDidMount` and `componentWillUnmount`, but are related to the actual visibility of a component to the user. While the component is `mounted` as soon as it's part of a layout, it is not always `visible` (for example, when another screen is `pushed` on top of it), and therefore React Native Navigation takes some performance optimizations.
