At first, I didn’t connect this issue to being on a phone call. Pikmin Bloom freezes when exiting the mushroom view, the planting seedlings view, and on various other occasions when returning to the main screen. Later, I noticed this only happens when I’m on an active phone call.
I have an iPhone SE 2020 (3GB RAM) with iOS 17.6. This issue might also affect the iPhone X(R/S) or iPhone 11/12/13. Could someone with these phones please check and confirm? I experience this issue during active phone calls, both mobile and FaceTime Audio.
I suspect this is a RAM issue. If the issue also occurs on the iPhone 14/15, it might be related to the operating system.
Hello @MelloYelo . Could you please contact us through in-app support so we can check and assist you better? Please choose General Questions when you contact us.
Thanks for the answer. I suspect, this might be a problem with the music subsystem in Pikmin Bloom. I accidentally switched on music in the game and it tends to hang as soon as the music is changed in some views, for instance when I leave the mushroom view or the seed tray view. Since the phone call is different in sound quality (22kbit) from Pikmin (44kbit), this might hang the system. As soon as I quit the call, the hanging app will appear normal again without restart.
I can corroborate that this is happening on my iPhone 12 Pro, seemingly starting after updating to iOS 18.0 (though I cannot say with certainty that it was not happening prior to this).
Newly opening the app up, it freezes shortly after loading and giving me the “Do not trespass” notification. If the app had previously been opened and was already running, it will freeze on whichever screen is currently open and eventually crash. This seems to happen with any kind of mic usage - I have tested standard phone calls, voice memo recording, and discord calls with replicable results.
Same freeze issue here. Log in wants to complete a mushroom… screen freezes but the music keeps playing.

Edit- got it to work by turning off location to claim the mushroom. Relaunch with location on… working so far
I would like to SPECIFY the problem. It’s during a call via BLUETOOTH. Tested with two different JBL headphones and an ANKER Bluetooth speaker. It’s not with a cable headset or on speakerphone. Pikmin Bloom tends to hang when clicking on a mushroom and going back and with planting seedlings and going back. Now that I noticed, it’s only with Bluetooth, I have ways to mitigate the problem. Yet, it’s awkward.
I already opened a ticket with in-game support and would like the new information about Bluetooth to be passed over.
