Hi there! I see your Family Life game is pausing during gameplay, but you're still able to tap some buttons while the rest of the game freezes. That sounds like an odd behavior. To help you better, could you tell me if this happens after a certain action or time? Also, has the app crashed or shown any error messages?

Meanwhile, here are some straightforward steps you can try to fix this:

1. Close and Reopen the App: Sometimes simply closing the app completely (not just backgrounding it) and reopening it can resolve temporary glitches.

2. Restart Your iPhone: Restarting can clear minor system hiccups that might affect apps.

3. Clear Cache and Memory: On iPhone, you can do this by force closing unused apps to free up memory.

4. Check for App Updates: Make sure your Family Life app is the latest version to avoid bugs that the developers may have already fixed.

5. Reinstall the App: Back up your game progress if possible, then delete and reinstall the app. This can clear corrupted files causing the pause issue1.

If you've tried these or if the pausing happens under a specific condition, let me know, so I can guide you through more detailed troubleshooting steps!

My game keeps pausing when I am playing I am still able to tap on buttons but everything else pauses

Thanks for sharing that your Family Life game keeps pausing, yet you can still tap on buttons while the rest of the game is frozen. This issue seems to happen to several players, and often it relates to the game getting stuck in a paused state but not fully resuming.

Here are some specific steps you can try to get the game running smoothly again on your iPhone iOS 18.6.2:

1. Go Back to the Main Menu: Sometimes the game pauses internally and doesn’t unpause correctly. Try returning to the main menu from your current game session, and then load or start your game again. This can reset the pause state and resume gameplay.

2. Avoid Pausing during Critical Moments: If you usually pause the game manually during important moments, try avoiding this to see if the issue still happens. The game might glitch if paused at certain points.

3. Load a Different Household or Save: If your current game save involves “off the grid” households or specific settings, try loading a different save or family to check if the issue persists.

4. Clear App Cache and Restart iPhone: Close the app fully, restart your phone to clear temporary cache and memory, and reopen the app.

5. Reinstall the App: Back up your progress if possible, then uninstall and reinstall Family Life to clear any corrupted files.

6. Check for Updates: Verify you are using the latest version available on the App Store.

These steps are based on common fixes shared by other Family Life players experiencing similar pausing issues1 3.
