System Freezes in 2048-Style Games on iOS 26.2 Beta

On the latest iOS 26.2 betas I’ve noticed a consistent bug across every 2048-type number-merge game I’ve tested. At some point during gameplay the app freezes and the entire system becomes unresponsive for a few seconds. When control returns, the game is still stuck, looping its selection animation until it’s force-closed. Frame-rate limits and reduced-transparency settings don’t solve it. Is anyone else seeing similar behavior?
