THIS ANNOYANCE CAN BE EASILY FIXED

Every time I open up the setting menu, there is some lag (which is perfectly fine). However, if I try to change the game mode or difficulty during the game or on the home screen, the game freezes. I can still click on the different options, i.e. Peaceful, easy, etc. I can not click out of this part. So once the options come up I can choose, but then I have to restart the app just to click play. Not sure why this is, I just recently bought the iPhone 7 plus and I couldnt imagine it is because of this.
