What is Call Of Duty Mobile White Screen issue?
Although not as widespread as other common problems such as random crashing or connectivity problems, the white screen issue on COD Mobile is affecting quite a number of gamers around the world.

Causes of White screen issue when playing COD Mobile
Most of the time, the main reason for white screen issue is server trouble so all is needed is to wait for several hours before trying the game again. There are, however, many similar situations wherein the servers are working normally and no known issues as far as connectivity is concerned are recorded. Let’s take a look at known reasons for COD mobile white screen issue.
Server is down.
As mentioned, many people will experience white screen issue or loading screen issues due to server glitches or bugs. While the game is works normally most of the time, server problems cannot be totally eliminated, especially for such a hugely popular app.
Random game glitch.
Just as server problems are a perennial problems for this type of games, random glitches may also occur. While COD Mobile is an excellent game and has no doubt been built by a world-class developer, it’s not perfect and may suffer from coding glitches or bugs.
Corrupted game files.
Call Of Duty Mobile may also crash, fail to load, or show a white screen during loading times when it’s game files are corrupted. This can occur if an update has not installed properly, or if another app such as malware has damaged critical folders or files.
At other times, the main issue may not be that serious as it only involves a corrupted game cache.
Slow internet.
If you have slow internet connection, Call Of Duty Mobile may not load fast enough and crash. At other times, this may lead to a white screen only instead of totally crashing.

Fix #1: Restart your device.
Whether you play Call Of Duty Mobile on your smartphone or PC (with the help of an emulator), the very first thing that you want to do when dealing with a white screen issue is to see if refreshing the system will help. This is a simply solution but is an often effective way to fix a minor, random bug.
Fix #2: Update Call Of Duty Mobile app.
