COD Mobile Black Screen issue: How to fix

While COD: Mobile's Season 13, entitled Winter War, brought some fantastic content to the ever-popular mobile title, more and more players have also been experiencing a "Black Screen issue" where the game effectively crashes.

Activision has now responded to the Black Screen issue in COD: Mobile, acknowledging the problem. If you don't want to wait for the developer to fix the issue, we've got some possible solutions for you on both Android and iOS devices.

COD: Mobile Black Screen issue

In a recent Community Update post on Reddit, the official COD: Mobile account asked players to report details on the Black Screen issue they've been experiencing in COD: Mobile.

Players are asked to provide the following information:

• [OS] [Version #] -- Example: iOS 14; Android 11
• Frequency of crashing/black screens
• Mode or area where it occurs (in case it isn't clearly just Battle Royale)
• UID (please don't share Open ID, only UID)

The developer will be checking all of these responses and details for the COD: Mobile Black Screen issue, so that they can find "similarities or common plausible reasons". However, the developer did not provide a quick fix to the issue.

On Android and iOS devices, the following fixes might work:

• Shut down your device and reboot it completely.
• Update your device to the latest software version.
• Update your COD: Mobile app if you haven't recently.
• Clear your COD: Mobile app cache.
• Delete and reinstall the game.

While these basic fixes could work for you, not everyone is having the same luck, and some are getting Black Screen crashes in COD: Mobile every other match.

Hopefully, the developer will find a permanent solution to this COD: Mobile issue soon, and hopefully, we won't have to wait until the Season 14 update to get it all patched up.
