Here’s the crux of the article in video form:
Apex Legends Mobile is the smartphone and tablet version of the popular Electronic Arts battle-royale game.
The game has been available for some weeks in beta phase. But, a couple of days ago it started its global rollout, and now it is massively available in many countries.
However, since its availability, players have started to encounter early issues that will require a fix to achieve the best possible experience.
Currently, Apex Legends Mobile players are facing an ADS bug where the screen gets stuck while aiming. However, there are some workarounds you can try (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10).
Apex Legends Mobile bug where screen gets stuck while aiming on ADS mode
According to multiple reports, when Apex Legends Mobile players open ADS to try to aim, they are unable to do so due to the screen getting stuck.
A Redditor provided a detailed description of the possible cause of the issue:
Title. Whenever I fire and try to control the recoil, my screen doesn’t respond. Sometimes it works but most of the time especially in BR, it doesn’t. I tried playing with the sensitivity settings, but it just won’t work. Does anyone experience this as well? Maybe an FPS issue? Source
A bug present since the Apex Legends Mobile closed beta
According to players, this problem has been present for weeks since the beta versions of the game. Sadly, the issue made its way into the Apex Legends Mobile public version, and there is no fix in sight.
Potential workarounds
However, there are some workarounds that reportedly help mitigate the bug. First, it is recommended to activate the ‘tap to ADS’ option instead of using the ‘hold to ADS’ option that comes as default.
Another workaround is to toggle off the ‘ADS button rotates camera’ option. This seems to do the trick for most players.
You can also turn off the ‘Crouch to rotate’ and ‘Jump to rotate’, options that, according to players, should not be activated by default.
There is no official acknowledgment of the issue from Apex Legends Mobile developers yet. We will update this story once new related developments arise.
