When performing certain actions (namely resetting/respawning, and possibly opening the ESC (settings) menu) the engine will freeze for a few seconds, before performing the action. This only occurs if the “Mobile devices” service is running. Once the service is disabled, the actions will be performed as usual. This service only appears to be run when Phone Link is enabled and linked to a device (My device linked is an android phone, but it may happen with iOS phones too)
Example of a slow respawn
https://cdn.bocon.wtf/u/dxQVnAn2.mp4 (tried to upload directly, but seems like it cannot render). Note the time it takes for the character to respawn. During this time the engine will not recognize any player inputs including activating GUI elements or moving the camera. Additionally, when performed with a minimized window, and then un-minimizing the window while the delay is active, nothing is displayed on the window (white screen). Additionally, ive found that in a minesweeper game which respawns many blocks can also trigger this delay.
When ending the task (through task manager) a pop-up will appear on the roblox window. Here is an example of this pop-up.

Expected behavior
Respawn within a resonable time while being able to interact with in-game mechanics, such as moving the camera.
