Game freezes while in a match then screen begins strobing

This has happened about 1/2 dozen times over the last two days. I’m on an iPhone 12 running iOS 26.2. MPQ app is up to date.

When this happens I have no option other than to force close the app which affects my characters just as retreating from a match does.

    Is there are particular point in the game freeze happens more often/consistently?
    i.e Middle of the match, switching back from another app, after a win, start of a match while the board tiles are loading, etc.

    The freezing has been ongoing for 6 months now:

    "Game freezes, thus you are forced to quit the app."

    "Game board flashes or switches to black"
    strobing is unique to iOS 26, and has been occurring for the last few months, since its release.

    Not better on Steam right now: energy input very high according to task manager, no other program running and game still barely working.
