'Fortnite' and 'PUBG' players should consider not updating to iOS 13 thanks to a new game-breaking feature.
Credit: Epic GamesDon't upgrade to iOS 13 on your iPhones or iPads if you're a PUBG or Fortnite player. Here's why:
A new feature in the update is potentially game-breaking, depending on how you play these (and other) games.
A new three-finger press-and-hold feature designed to enhance text editing can interrupt your game session, and it's already upsetting plenty of mobile gamers.
The PUBG Mobile team has already weighed in on the update, issuing the following statement:
We are aware of an issue for players who upgraded to iOS 13.0, where touching the screen with 3 fingers will trigger an iOS function and interrupt the game.
We have already raised the issue with Apple, and we will continue working with them to resolve the issue. We suggest players who play the game with 3 or more fingers do not upgrade to iOS 13.0 until this issue is resolved.
Thank you for your understanding.

The issue arises when players use more than two fingers to play games like PUBG and Fortnite. There's a lot going on in these games, and being able to aim, move and select items often involves at least three fingers. With iOS 13, this can lead to the new text function popping up mid-game, which can in turn lead to your very untimely (and infuriating) death.
Hopefully there's a fix for this in the iOS 13.1 update (up a week to September 24th) but for now: Consider not updating to the latest version of iOS if you plan on playing these games--or other games that might require three fingers touching the screen at the same time.
At this point, neither Apple nor Fortnite dev Epic Games have issued statements on the matter.
