Stuttering/freezing after 1.21.70 update

There was an update today on the playstore (It says 1.21.70.03) and now the game stutters on the Galaxy S24 Ultra (SM-S928U1).

It was running smoothly before updating.

Same here, My Ipad 9th could handle my 700mb world before the 1.21.70 update. Now the game freezes for a few seconds every and after 1-2 minutes. Another note is that my friends couldn’t join the world

Occurring on iPhone 15 as well. A 3-5 second pause once every 45-60 seconds.

Not sure if this is the problem, But I noticed that my render distance was set to the maximum. I’ve only set it to maximum to look around, but normally play on a lower/mid render distance range. I set it to my normal range, but on close and reloading minecraft it sets it back to maximum render distance.

Same problem with intermittent freezing regardless of vanilla or with addons. Unplayable as is.

So, it appears to have been fixed on my device, a Galaxy S21 FE 5G. Normal worlds dont lag, nor do Realms, buy it does appear to overheat and crash my phone much more often than before.

Freezing/stuttering problem still persists in the Apple ecosystem as of 7/13/25. Frequency of occurrence has not changed either

Stopped playing the game because of this bug.

Looks to be fixed on the android side, completely gone for me fortunately.
