New 19.0 update phone problems [Merged Threads]

It is flawless for everything else. Why should I change my phone only for this game? I got a Samsung S7 on my last phone contract and switched back to the iPhone cuz the Samsung sucks. the only current benefit to the Samsung is that it does not heat up. 7 months left on my current contract means no new phone for 7 months.
What makes you say this genius??
So now I’m going to miss alliance rewards and when I get back into the alliance I’ll have a blackout period too.
I know Kabam has said this is a priority but it doesn’t feel like an urgent one or one they are taking as seriously as they should.
Since I haven’t posted my phone info here yet since it’s just a repeat of what most have put but;
iPhone 7
11.4
WiFi
Device - iPhone 7
Carrier - T-mobile (i'm from The Netherlands)

It started right after the v19 update, before that everything was working fine for me. My phone starts overheating and eventually the screen turns black and a spinning wheel appears and sends me back to the lock screen. It happens during arena, regular quest, AQ and AW. So literally everything.
It also affects the device itself, the buttons don't work even if i try to shut it down. The only way for my phone to work again is to reboot it (what i mean by that: pressing the power button and volume down button at the same time). Other apps such as Line won't respond and crash as well. My phone works fine after i let it cool down.
Using an iPhone 6 with the latest update. Overheating, etc. just once, haven’t used since.
My iPad Air 2 has none of these issues.
All of these current just seem....unacceptable. Especially when they manifest them selves physically within devices.
Game should have been shut down with regard to the care of the player base until a resolution is determined. Just not worth it.
I tryed my ipad and same thing
I cant play this game anymore i dont want to break my phone
I have iphone 7 with the latest update
My phone has been heating up, and I've force restarted it more in the last few days than I have ever force restarted any phone since 2000. The battery is down to 56% efficiency (go to settings > battery to check this) and the back of my phone has started swelling up. I've made sure not to play for more than 15 minutes at a time (while my brightness stays on lowest setting) and not to play while it's charging. Yet at a full battery it drops to 20% within 30 minutes, after closing the app 3 times to make sure it doesn't heat up too much. MCOC is the cause of this issue, whether Apple is enabling the issue or not is irrelevant. The game shouldn't be capable of turning my phone into a bomb, that's irresponsible and it's extremely unprofessional to suggest this is Apple's fault like you did when the Google servers went down.
I don't know what the compensation would look like to stop people from looking for and signing onto a class action lawsuit when it starts, but you have a chance to get ahead of this because even if it's fixed in the next week it's already done irreparable damage to a very, very, large number of devices. Stop throwing your hands up and people will stop trying to throw things at you.
iPhone 7 Plus

Phone battery wears down faster than normal, device gets hot, and game crashes after about 30 minutes of play.
If a device shuts down its a warning that something is wrong. It might not boot up, You just don't know. How many times must a device shut down before it fails to restart. Over heating on any electronics devices cannot be good
I really do suggest you only play for 10 or 15 minutes. power Off ,
Check to see if it is devices is hot. restart if cool or warm.
Keep phone on, but wait until phone is cold before you return to game
I normally check after 3 fights to see how hot or warm the phone is
Got to be Safe
Play at your own risk, your device is in jeopardy.
You know the subscription cards that we paid for which require us to log in daily to get? You know the crystal packs we paid for? You know the unit packs some people spent $500 on a few days ago? I'd say that's payment for things you aren't capable of receiving if you don't play. Simply "don't play" is insulting and childish. Playing coy is unprofessional and rude.

This has been shown to diminish the impact for some, not all. Plus a beta OS is not a sustainable solution. It should not be considered a primary solution.
Its not fixing the issue at all
I phone 7
Take this data for what it is. Tried to make it as fair as possible. No other apps running in the background. Time for phone to cool down between scenarios. Found a list that considered these “Graphic intensive“
The only reason there is prolonged use snapshots for MCOC is obvious; All other games had the same stats no matter how long they were played…
P.s. In my line of work acting irresponsible in that manner can and would kill someone. Forgive me for expecting the same professionalism I assume when I walk into work.
Thank you for working on this!
I told them.... there is a memory leaks! And this proof it.
Thanks for your effort.
Nice job tho.
OS 12.0
Noticing much longer load times and longer time for applications to appear since updating the OS
Overall laggy fights and slowed/ dropped frame rates
