What is going on with the app on Iphone?

Not only is it incredibly laggy and keeps freezing/crashing,certain features won’t work unless I refresh or leave a thread and rejoin ,but it also messes up my phone. It gets hot incredibly quickly, brightness goes down , it freezes and it drains the battery. It’s becoming impossible to use for more than 10 minutes at a time. This doesn’t happen with any of my other apps.

It’s incredibly annoying, as I quite like a bit (A LOT) of MN during quiet times and now usage is very limited , but the phone is also useless for a bit .

I’m on an Iphone 13 mini and everything is up to date.

Hello @WhenYouSayNothingAtAll.

We'll look into this now and see if we can find any workarounds for you. It is an issue that has cropped up in the fairly recent past. In the meantime, could you check your settings and see if you're set to view 'all' pages in a thread, as that can really slow things down. Switching to 50 posts per page might help a bit.

Morning, everyone. We’ve just released a new version of the Mumsnet iOS app.

This update includes a fix for the recent overheating and battery drain issues that some of you have been experiencing.

We’ve also made it easier to post in your favourite boards - any topics you follow will now appear right at the top of the list when you’re choosing where to post or when using advanced search.

The update is rolling out now, so you should see it on your device soon (you can also head to the App store and check to see if the update is available there).

Thanks so much for your patience while we’ve been working on this – and as always, do let us know how you get on once you’ve updated.
