How to change change and track boolean state of each element in an array

Im trying to make it so that when a TouchableHighlight is pressed in react native it goes from one colour to another. I have state that is set to false and changes when the button is pressed. However this changes the colour for all elements in the map rather than for each item individually. Is there a way to update the state for each element independently? Here is my code:

function OnboardingVibes() {
  const [pressed, setPressed] = useState(false);
  return (
      <View style={{marginTop: 40}}>
        <Text style={{fontSize: 22, color: '#FFF', marginBottom: 16}}>Vibes</Text>
        <View style={styles.buttonContainer}>
          {vibes.map((vibe) => {
            return (
                <TouchableHighlight onPress={() => setPressed(true)} style={{backgroundColor: pressed ? '#DDD' : '#4D2C5B', margin: 4, borderRadius: 4}} key={`vibe-${vibe}`}>
                  <Text style={styles.vibeButton}>{vibe}</Text>
                </TouchableHighlight>
            )
          })}
        </View>
      </View>
  );
}

One way to do it is to move the state down so you could have individual states. When the state is true at the top-level, all child components will receive the same state.

function TouchableVibe({vibe}) {
  const [pressed, setPressed] = useState(false);

  return (
    <TouchableHighlight
      onPress={() => setPressed(true)}
      style={{
        backgroundColor: pressed ? "#DDD" : "#4D2C5B",
        margin: 4,
        borderRadius: 4,
      }}
    >
      <Text style={styles.vibeButton}>{vibe}</Text>
    </TouchableHighlight>
  );
}

function OnboardingVibes() {
  return (
    <View style={{ marginTop: 40 }}>
      <Text style={{ fontSize: 22, color: "#FFF", marginBottom: 16 }}>
        Vibes
      </Text>
      <View style={styles.buttonContainer}>
        {vibes.map((vibe) => (
          <TouchableVibe key={`vibe-${vibe}`} vibe={vibe} />
        ))}
      </View>
    </View>
  );
}

const [pressed, setPressed] = useState(vibes.map(e=>false));
{vibes.map((vibe, index) => {
           return (
               <TouchableHighlight onPress={() => {
let new_Pressed =vibes.map(e=>false)
    new_pressed[index]=true;
setPressed(new_pressed);
}} 
style={{backgroundColor: pressed[index] 
                ? '#DDD' 
                : '#4D2C5B',
                margin: 4, borderRadius: 4}} key={`vibe-${vibe}`}>
                 <Text style={styles.vibeButton}>{vibe}</Text>
               </TouchableHighlight>
           )
         })}

Instead of passing in a boolean to the state, pass in the id/vibe instead, and then in your conditional logic within the map you can determine if that single item is the same as the one you've clicked.

function OnboardingVibes() {
  const [pressed, setPressed] = useState('');
  return (
      <View style={{marginTop: 40}}>
        <Text style={{fontSize: 22, color: '#FFF', marginBottom: 16}}>Vibes</Text>
        <View style={styles.buttonContainer}>
          {vibes.map((vibe) => {
            return (
                <TouchableHighlight onPress={() => setPressed(vibe)} style={{backgroundColor: pressed === vibe ? '#DDD' : '#4D2C5B', margin: 4, borderRadius: 4}} key={`vibe-${vibe}`}>
                  <Text style={styles.vibeButton}>{vibe}</Text>
                </TouchableHighlight>
            )
          })}
        </View>
      </View>
  );
}
