Good day. Same issues on Android Samsung 25Ultra.

Also from what I see through the static images, it appears my worlds are gone.

Mine is iOS but mine is doing similar but instead of static like stuff it’s just completely invisible

Alexis Zephyra 2026-09-16T15:07:38Z

Same here. iPad, and the world menu just doesn’t show up, but it’s still there? I can’t see my worlds but I wouldn’t be surprised if mine are gone too bc the one I load into in the video is a completely new world.

I don’t play on mobile,but my mom and sister do, and they’re having the same problems

Having the same problem. No avatar on screen or in dressing room. Clicking any button (Play, Settings, etc) brings me to a rotating background screen. No options to play, change settings, nothing. Installed 26.51 hotfix and problem continues.

Please see MCPE-241108 for the issue where the player or menu screens appear invisible.

Theresa Jackson 2026-09-16T21:48:55Z

Issue is NOT resolved after Google Play Store mini update v: 26.51 today Sept 16. Same issues. No visible images. Static. After taking a screen shot, images is clear but splits the screen in 3 sections.

My forever world also appears gone from what I can see from the world tab as it only shows 2 worlds neither of which are mine.

My character’s skin is only visible at the corners in stripes and the main UI is invisible and I can only open one random world if i tap randomly on the screen. Otherwise it’s just the background imagery of a minecraft forest,

The Fiix the mod posted worked for me, that’s all you have to do. MCPE-241108

Renaming options.txt to options_old.txt on Android (26.51 release, Samsung Z Flip 5(SM-F731N)) fixed the glitch for me.

Path: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.mojang.minecraftpe/files/games/com.mojang/minecraftpe/options.txt

Steps:
1. Fully close Minecraft.
2. Rename (or move) options.txt so the game generates a fresh one.
3. Launch the game again.

Note: this resets your in-game settings. It seems like Minecraft can’t read an older version’s options.txt correctly.

frankiedauser 2026-09-19T05:04:45Z

@Migan If the game couldn’t read options.txt, then the controls are reset everytime you reopened it, and the game will “beg“ you to sign in to Microsoft Account, even if you did that before, also as said in one comment from MCPE-241108 and here, it wasn’t an issue for me on Release version, despite the options were created in old version.

Investigation and it’s cause for me are in MCPE-241108 by the way, you just need to look for earlier comments.

Just wanna add: i opened minecraft bedrock today and the problem was gone!! I think its fixed

RandomNoob 2026-09-27T11:56:11Z

Guys I think 26.52 fixed it.

Judah Nichols 2026-09-27T23:26:03Z

You need to chill @frankiedauser , I simple pasted the portion of someone’s solution that helped me so that it might help some other people. I didn’t claim to be the creator of it or that I was an all knowing admin that you should trust I just pasted a solution that worked for me. If there’s some etiquette in this community for giving credit or qualifications that I’m not aware of I’m happy to adjust.

Please confirm if this is still an issue in 26.52
