This is caused by system design. When there are more than five tabs on a TabBar, a More tab will appear, which can be used to access the additional tabs. – Wendy Zang - MSFT
@wendy thank you. But what we want is only 3 tabs in bottom and a menu options. How can we achieve this ? – xam1
I'm afraid this couldn't be easily changed. It is by design. You need to completely override its architecture if you don't like this default behavior. – Wendy Zang - MSFT

In the Shell template, the BottomNavigationView provide a MaxItemCount to set the count of tabs to five.

 public virtual int MaxItemCount { get; }

This count only can get. We could not set the value for this via custom renderer or other ways.

If you really wat to do this, you need to create your own BottomNavigationView. This couldn't be easily changed.
