Choppy flickering video - iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

The flickering started as soon as I got my new phone. I updated to IOS15. I’ve done all the steps including turning off auto brightness and nothing has worked. I literally cannot watch videos in messenger and other apps on a brand new flagship IPhone 13 Pro Max. $2000+ wasted.


I should have stayed with my XS.


what is being done about this Apple? This has been going on for months according to the other complaints on this forum.


IOS 15 did not fix the problem.

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.
