      When attempting to mine/break blocks, the expected touch/interaction animation(s) haven't been showing in any game modes — Creative OR Survival.

      Expectation : When interacting with nearby blocks in-game, there is a (relatively) circle-shaped outline of the selected area; the outline circle usually appears when looking around, which does not appear to have changed; when breaking/mining blocks, a second circle appears in the center of the outline, and this second circle progressively fills in the outline as the block breaks, the growth speed of the inner circle corresponding with the block-breaking speed. (The circle acts as a sort of progress bar, similar to the green bars seen elsewhere in the game, such as when smelting ores or cooking food.) The circle is also usually accompanied by the progressive changes in appearance of whatever block is being broken — as the block gets closer to breaking, the white circle grows closer to filling the outline circle, AND cracks appear on the block itself.

      What's Happening : When breaking/mining a block, the outline circle still appears; HOWEVER, the white inner circle has stopped appearing, AND there are no visible changes to the block — cracks aren't appearing. Essentially, there is no way to tell when the block will break, or even IF it is breaking, depending on some other settings. (If player settings are set to vibrate the device when mining/breaking, then the player can confirm that they are breaking/mining a block, but they have no way to gauge the speed at which the block is breaking.)

      It's a (frustrating) sort of guessing game, and there doesn't seem to be any solution. The issue persists regardless of any changes to game/player settings; this includes toggling the "Delayed Block Breaking (Creative Only)" and/or "Split Controls" options, which were recommended in help forums for similar issues.

      OTHER NOTES : In case the device brand/model might have any relevance or significance :
      Back of the device states : "Model: VIEW 3 // (second line of text) BLU Products, Inc. Designed in Miami"
      Settings (Settings > About phone > Model & hardware) state : "Model: B140DL"
