Choppy flickering video - iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

New iPhone 13 pro max with video flicker and stutter but only seems to be happening in Facebook and FB Messenger. Not in instagram, YouTube, etc. Not happening in the camera and video taken on the phone.

Annoying. but I think it’s a sign to stop using Facebook and Messenger. 🤪

Same here. Flickering is occurring while I use keyboard, with video playback, and in Apple Music when playing a song after a search. Example: a search for “Drake” generates a result of songs by that artist. When you select a song to play it, all album art in results flicker. Very annoying, especially after spending over $1200 on a new iPhone 13 Pro Max. This needs to be fixed immediately! Running IOS 15.0.1.

If a single application has an issue when you update windows 10 to windows 11, it is the application that needs to update how it interacts with kernel or drivers. Same for ios or any other OS.

Of course this is an application/fb issue. Claiming the OS is the issue is not helpful here. It is good to make sure it is widely known, but facebook need to fix their app

I have an iPhone 13 pro max as well. And I drive uber too. So whenever I get an order and I’m out of the Uber App, when I click on the notification badge it goes to the app and the screen glitches for a good 1 second in weird purple and all colours. I thought this was only me.

i am also facing the same problem with my brand new iphone 12 pro max after updating to ios 15 videos in messenger starts to flick and also facing the bug in Instagram apple should fix this as soon as possible.

I have been experiencing the flickering video issue on the new iPhone 13 Pro in iOS 15, 15.0.1, and 15.0.2. It is NOT reproducible on an earlier iPhone 6 running iOS 12.5.5. I notice if frequently, especially in Facebook Messenger, but not limited to that. It isn't a third-party problem if their software works in only some versions of iOS - that's a design flaw in the operating system. Please don't pass the buck Apple.

I do have the same problem, the apple give me a new Iphone 13 pro and I have the same problem!! 2 new Iphones with the same problem! What can I do in this situation? It’s not fair to pay for a new phone and to have this problems!

This is happening to me on videos too. Especially on music videos I purchased from iTunes. So it has absolutely to do with a 3rd party app. Also having my Bluetooth connection get choppy when playing music too. I just upgraded to this from my XS Max and it had IOS 15 on it with none of these problems. Totally regretting getting this phone!!!

I also was given a new iPhone 13 pro and this second one continues to have flickering videos, glitches when opening and closing instagram, messenger, and Duolingo. However, the flickering keyboard seemed to stop.

Apple offers me a new replacement for my iphone 13 pro max but I think I need to reconsider as some of you still have the same issues on the new phone. My excitement for this new iphone has totally gone. Apple pls fix this issue and don’t keep saying it’s system or software related issue. if the phone is not working properly, it’s not okay

wow I can’t believe that I m not the only one with this issues!!Same problems, I changed the phone 2 times!!! I lose a lot of time!!! for what?? Nothing..

Wow wow wow!!! I am Very very disappointed of apple this year!!!

I just updated the messenger app with the newest update and it flickering issue was resolved. I guess it was a 3rd party issue💁🏽‍♀️ But my camera flickering is still there and that’s definitely an apple issue that is yet to be fixed.

The 334.1 version of Facebook Messenger fixed the issue with flickering video I had seen previously. That was the 3rd release update since iPhone 13 / iOS 15 was released, so whatever needed fixing wasn’t easy. Also note again that the same previous Messenger code that had issues running on iPhone 13 / iOS 15 ran successfully in earlier iPhones and OSs. So this was NOT a Facebook issue - it was a design flaw in the latest OS that apparently had a workaround that Facebook was able to utilize. App developers should never have to write separate code to target specific devices, there should only be clear OS APIs for utilizing distinct features.

Yeah my IPhone 13 Pro Max has the whole dimming dark a few times a day. My auto brightness is off and I also have True Tone off. And the other irritating issue I’ve had is when you scroll up or down content on the phone the screen almost hemeradges :(. It goes all choppy and flickering rapidly. Went to Apple store and they said it’s the “way” I’m using my phone. Wtf! I dumped a perfectly working IPhone 12 Pro Max and upgraded to this.

I recently purchased iphone 13 and FB messenger calls are choppy/flickering. Tried installing and uninstalling messenger but same result. Tried resetting network settings and updating iOS, still same result. iphone 12s and android fones in our wifi network are working fine with FB messenger calls, only iphone 13 has issues. Regular phone calls are working fine.
