Apple iOS 13.5.1 “Phone Disabled” Message

Since I upgraded software to the new Apple iOS 13.5.1, my phone periodically displays the message “Disabled try again in XX minutes”. Normally this is only supposed to happen if an invalid password has been entered too many times, however, the new upgrade causes it to happen even when an invalid password has not been entered.

I typically turn my screen off before I pocket my phone. Since this upgrade when I retrieve my phone from my pocket, it sometimes tells me that it is disabled. It has happened so many times since the upgrade and I had this problem before. I am hoping for a fix soon.

The apple feedback site (https://www.apple.com/feedback/) does not yet provide an option to report a problem for iOS version 13.5.1. Other gamers report screen being unresponsive at times.

While the update was recommended for everyone and said to have “important security updates”, it may not be worth the problems it creates.
