From what it appears, the game start button has stopped working or has gone missing. This issue isn’t narrowed to only Android users but affects iOS users too.

This, however, was quickly noticed by the officials and they have acknowledged that an ongoing issue affects mobile players.

The official handle also says that it may take some more time for iOS users to get the fix as App Store needs to approve the build and only then it can begin to roll out.
