I have the same issue. Once I updated to 1.19.1 all of the water and lava animations froze. I play on a iPhone iOS 15. 

This is the fourth time I've committed, and I wish it was with better news. The 1.16.210 update made the game noticeably smoother but, it did not fix the lag (although it did improve slightly). I have previously experienced lag on my iPhone SE (2016) so I decided to see if it was still there, and I was happily surprised to see that it was running nice and smooth. Now I have a device that I can play Minecraft on without lag, but I would like the lag to be resolved on the Amazon Fire because that's what I mostly use daily. Also, the chunk loading on my Amazon Fire is extremely slow, I might even go as far as to say it's gotten worse. 

Previously, I commented that the 1.16.101 hotfix helped with my lag. But when I logged back in to Minecraft today the lag had returned. I have no idea what happened because it was definitely running smother a few days ago. Bummer.

My device is a Amazon fire 10 HD and Minecraft was downloaded from the Google play store.

Oh boy! Am I having the same problem!

I'm a relatively new Minecraft player, but I've watched Minecraft videos for as long as I can remember so I know the game pretty well. So I was surprised (to say the least) when I went to the Nether for the first time and I was constantly CONSTANTLY being attacked by ghasts, magma cubes, and skeletons.

My portal spawned on a secluded island of sorts so I was very shocked when within seconds of entering the nether I was greeted by not one but two ghasts who spared no time in braking my portal, with PERFECT aim I might add. 

The only thing around me was a Soul Sand Valley, and after my ghast attack, I proceeded with extreme caution and gathered some netherrack, but apparently not with enough caution because within seconds of stepping into the Soul Sand Valley a ton of skeletons and magma cubes started spawning in from all sides, and I was trapped not being able to run on the soul sand. In an extreme panic, I was barely BARELY able to block myself in to hide from the skeletons. After failed attempts to escape my shelter, I noped out and decided to tunnel my way back to my portal.

On the way back I was again getting attacked by multiple ghasts. But when I got finally back to the portal in one piece I decided to not go home just quite yet and explore for other (less dangerous) biomes. I tunneled behind my portal and found a Crimson Forest in the distance, so I proceeded to build a bridge to it; but as I was building the bridge guess what happened next? Yeah, you guessed it; ghasts started spawning and fireballs started flying left and right, when I managed to kill one it seemed like two took its place! I ditched the bridge and ran back to my tunnel, and decided to dig down and find another way to the Forest. I found an opening but dropped down prematurely, and a ghast was waiting for me right there on the ground!

As I was fighting to get back to my tunnel, I decided that this wasn't at all worth it and I was going back home ASAP. But I just couldn't catch a break! Cause when I finally got back, at the end of the tunnel, right where my portal was, there were two ghasts, at least three magma cubes, and a whole bunch of piglins. I could barely process what I was seeing when one of the ghasts sent a fireball directly through my 1x2 tunnel and made a direct hit! I drew cover in the little nook that the explosion made but I didn't even have time to put myself out when the other ghast did the same thing, WHILE I WAS HIDDEN! I don't even know how I made it out alive, but when I got home I made sure to break my nether portal. 

I don't feel like all of that was normal behavior for the Nether. And just to clarify, most all of the ghasts were spawning at ground level close to me (40 blocks away at most), I rarely saw one floating in the sky where they're supposed to be.

All of the above was played at normal difficulty (I double checked) I also had full iron armor with a gold helmet and a shield. I probably won't be returning to the Nether anytime soon because of this. Please fix and thank you for reading.

I have the same problem. My device is Amazon Fire 10 HD and I downloaded Minecraft from the Google play store. I just updated to 1.16.101 and it did not fix the problem.

The lastest hotfix actually (1.16.101) helped with lag! I normally would play with my render distance at 10 but now I can actually play at my max (which is 12).

I'm glad Mojang listens to players and tries to fix the problems as soon as possible. I still have annoying bugs that still need attention (for example I still won't get invites and achievement notifications) but at least now I can play the game without having to deal with horrible lag.

Thanks Mojang!

Now go fix my other bugs.

I've been having problems with constant lag since the 1.16.100 release. Even lowering the render distance doesn't help. This is very frustrating because now my eyes are starting to hurt when I play.

I used to have a problem with the game crashing EVERY time I opened the app offline, unless I signed out of my account. Thankfully, that's no longer a problem thanks to the new update. But the new edition of lag is awful! Please fix soon.

I play on Amazon Fire 10 HD, and download Minecraft from the Google Play Store.

I have the same problems. Very frustrating. I play on Amazon Fire 10 HD. Please fix soon!

I have the same issue, I play on Amazon Fire 10 HD and downloaded Minecraft from the Google play store (which I sideloaded). I'm pretty sure it's the same version of Minecraft if I had purchased it from the Amazon app store.

I have this problem too, I play with Amazon Fire 10 HD and sideloaded the Google Play store to play Minecraft. I've never had any app notification problems from sideloading the Google store, so it's kinda disappointing that of all apps it's Minecraft that I won't get any notifications from. I tried downloading the Xbox app to see if that would fix the problem, but to my chagrin, it fixed nothing. I also have the problem of not being able to see friends when I know they're online.
