To keep your phone from overheating, it's key to manage its usage carefully, particularly during hot weather. Steer clear of putting your device in direct sunlight for long periods, because the heat from the environment will skyrocket its internal temperature in no time. Turn off running apps that are in the background and you are not actively using since they can make the battery juice and heat the phone. Do not play games that require much graphics or record long videos if the phone is already warm because these tasks can make the processor and the battery suffer. Moreover, you can turn on the battery saver mode to decrease the performance requirement and also minimize the screen brightness to lower the strain on the display and the battery. If you see that the device is heating up beyond what you are used to, it would be best to charge without a phone case as the latter can trap heat and hinder the cooling of the device. Avoid charging your device under or over some surface that has pillows or is softer than necessary as this may block the ventilation. One of the lamest tasks that you can do to your device in an attempt to get signal is to use the airplane mode when signal is weak since this case will cause the battery to use up more power searching for the network hence more heat. Also, keep your software up to date as manufacturers usually fix bugs and make improvements in the phone's performance to reduce overheating issues in their updates. Also, give an absolute no to non-certified or damaged charging cables and power adapters because the bad flow of power from them will not only heat up your phone but will result in the permanent damage of the battery. Lastly, take some rest when your phone becomes too warm; more often than not, giving it a rest is one of the simplest and most effective ways to cool it down without any glitches.
