    This is working as intended. The game UI was not optimized for iOS devices since 2021 as reported here.

    I understand this is a significant change, but it was aimed at improving readability and accessibility, particularly for users who found the previous version difficult to use.

    Same issue on iPhone 15 Pro Max. Asked to download from the server and must have swapped with 2x assets

    I used to play on my iPad, but for this exact reason, I switched back to my phone. It is unfortunate that it is too big, though. A bigger screen is more advantageous than a smaller phone.

    Can EA do something about this? Wouldn’t it have been easier to make different sizing options available to begin with, instead of forcing everyone to have this ridiculously large interface? A lot of people hate the update, to the point of wanting to finally call it quits. Maybe this is their intention. I turned off auto updates for this exact reason, but with the new festival and events I was forced to update, and the sizing is genuinely despicable. It takes up a huge portion of the screen now, making it difficult and irksome to play like normal. It almost should be considered a bug. Please fix it EA!
