UI Bug: Time Selection not updating on Android (Multiple Devices)

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing a persistent UI bug in the latest Android app update across three different devices: Pixel 8 Pro, Samsung A53 5G, and a Xiaomi Tablet.

The Problem:

When I tap the time control button above the "Play" button, the selection menu appears as usual. I can tap a new time (e.g., changing from 10 min to 5 min), the button reacts (turns gray/highlights), and the menu closes. However, the time on the main screen does not change. It remains stuck on the previously selected time.

What I have tried so far:

Cleared Cache and App Data.

Uninstalled and reinstalled the app.

Logged out and back in.

Tested it in "Guest Mode" (the bug persists even there).

Changed system language and app language.

Workaround found:

The selection only works if I go through the "Play" -> "Custom" menu. The quick-selection widget on the main home screen seems to be broken and doesn't pass the data to the game logic.

Since this happens on three completely different hardware platforms, it seems to be a hardcoded bug in the current Android build. Is anyone else seeing this, or is there a fix in the works?

Ditto. Except for custom menu. It does not change from 10 minute game.

I have the same problem

Same issue here. Stuck on 10 min game. Did anyone find a solution?

It looks like a lot of people is getting this bug. There might be something wrong in the apps code. You can perhaps ask a staff about this bug.

Did you actually play a game in the chosen time control?

Just read my text carefully, that answer your question. We do have a bug here in the App interface.

Are they just not going to fix it?

Not until yet.

I’ve got the same problem. Android tablet. It’s been like this for 3 days now. If you send a challenge to a friend, that seems to change the gamemode. It’s still stuck on whatever you have selected, but at least for now that will temporarily work
