IMPORTANT: I actually have an iPhone 8, but it's not listed on the device selection. shameful.

Anyway, I play MC with friends a lot and it seems that I'm the only one experiencing this problem.

When I open the game, everything runs fine, and it takes a bit to sign in to my xbox live account, which is what i use to play with my friends online.

However, the very same second that the sign-in is completed, the whole game freezes and becomes unresponsive to any action.

I've tried restarting the game, rebooting my device, deleting and reinstalling the game, etc. etc. and nothing has worked. Not one thing. I can no longer play Minecraft with my friends. Please help.
