[Discussion] UI lag in recent phones. What's your experience?
I would like to open a discussion about your experience regarding any type of UI lag or strange slowdowns on your phone.
Let me make it clear, that this does not include slower loading times for various applications because of lower-spec hardware.

I recently changed my password, and when I tried to login again, it asked me to enter an 8 digit backup code. I've always used my phone and/or the Authenticator app for 6 digit code, so I was fucked. My only other option was to go through the Account Recovery, which didn't work.
