Since the 1.16.20 update, the Nintendo Switch freezes completely when I try to close Minecraft after playing, or when I go to the Switch Home screen while playing Minecraft and try to open another application, such as another software title, the Screenshot Gallery or system settings.
I mean a complete system freeze. The only thing that seems to work when that happens, is press and hold the On/Off button on the console for 10 seconds, causing the Switch to turn off.
Since the 1.16.20 update, the game also has a tendency to temporarily freeze at seemingly random moments during gameplay, usually for around 10 - 30 seconds, after which it continues as if nothing happened.
I've asked friends who also play Minecraft on Nintendo Switch, they all confirm these issues since the 1.16.20 update.

Switch is frozen indefinitely, completely unresponsive for several minutes unless I force shutdown by holding power button. Provided picture in attachments.
