Here are common causes of phone overheating and ways to address them:

  1. Extended Gaming Sessions: Mobile games, especially high-performance ones, use both the CPU and GPU, leading to quick heat buildup.
  2. Streaming Videos: Watching videos for long periods, like on YouTube or Netflix, overworks your phone by loading data and keeping the display active.
  3. Improper Settings: High screen brightness or using animated backgrounds can overwork your phone’s processor. Reducing brightness or switching to static wallpapers can help.
  4. Outdated Apps: Old or buggy apps can overuse your processor. Keep your apps and operating system up to date to avoid overheating issues.
  5. Software Updates: Phones may temporarily overheat during or after software updates, but this should be brief.
  6. Environmental Conditions: Exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, such as leaving your phone in a car, can cause overheating. Cold weather can have similar effects.
  7. Charging Problems: Overheating while charging could be due to a damaged cable, charging port, or battery. Try using a different charger or port to see if the issue persists.

How to Cool Down Your Phone

  • Remove the case to release trapped heat.
  • Turn on airplane mode to disable power-draining features.
  • Move to a cooler spot, but avoid extreme methods like placing the phone in a freezer.
  • Reduce screen brightness and take regular breaks to ease strain on the battery.
  • Restart your phone or close unused apps to free up resources.

Preventing Overheating

  • Charge correctly: Use a reliable charger and charge on a firm surface, not a bed or couch.
  • Update apps regularly to fix bugs that may cause overheating.
  • Avoid direct sunlight: Keep your phone in shaded areas, especially when outdoors or charging near windows.

Following these tips will help keep your phone cool and prevent long-term damage.
