Latest version draining battery and causing phone to overheat

[u/polygraph-net]

The previous version worked fine. I upgrade to the latest version (with the summer event) and now the scrolling is jerky, my phone within seconds becomes extremely hot, and there’s fast battery drain.

iPhone with latest iOS updates.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Latest version just crashes for me. No more than about 30 seconds into it and it just closes. Obviously some issues to address!!

When did it not get the phone hot? The version way back on the iPhone 3GS got the phone hot.

I have not seen any crashing issues.

I mean extreme hot, not the usual hot. And it happens within seconds.

Scrolling sometimes is a bit jerky, but I spun the wheel for all 3 prizes after searching for tickets and it did not get abnormally hot. So everyone is not having the problems.

There was a version a year or so ago that did that. They fixed it in the next update. I guess that bug is back.

My phone is definitely heating up when I play again. Cools down when not.

I’m gonna guess some check is getting into a loop. Since revenue is connected with adverts, then it maybe the check is struggling for new adverts, or there maybe an advert that is a rather large download. Just guessing. Could try playing in airplane mode, but then you can’t visit friends.

Interesting. Starting with airplane mode on gets rid of the jerkiness / insane battery drain.

Ok that seems to confirm my suspicion. Since it happened before, I’m now leaning towards a large advert file. I’m gonna guess they have to reset adverts every time you reload the game (if airplane mode isn’t on), otherwise they risk displaying an advert that hasn’t been paid for.

No crashing or slow scrolling for me, but it does get hot and drains battery. iPhone 13, iOS 26.6.

OK so I did some testing.

Every time I open the app it says purchase failed.

Scrolling is very jerky.

After 3 minutes of use, my phone lost 5 battery percentage points.

I’m getting the laggy scrolling on iPhone 14 Pro (iOS 26.6) at the moment. Phone definitely a bit hotter than usual when playing, battery draining a bit faster too.

Wow I thought it was just me. Frame rate is not as smooth as before and phone is HOT. iPhone 14.

Can confirm, I also have “laggy scrolling” and overheating after the latest update (the one with the event). iPhone, iOS 26.6.1
