What is the lag in Minecraft: Pocket Edition?
Lag is one of the most annoying errors any game can have. There have been reports about players continuously facing lag in their Minecraft Pocket Edition. As far as we know, there are no definite causes for the lag in any game. Minecraft, although a very well-known game, faces many such errors on a daily basis.
