To stop your phone from overheating, you can follow these practical steps:
- Keep your phone out of direct sunlight to prevent it from absorbing heat
- Close unused apps running in the background to reduce processor and battery strain
- Lower your screen brightness and disable adaptive brightness to reduce power consumption and heat generation
- Remove your phone case temporarily to allow better heat dissipation
- Use power-saving mode to limit background activity and reduce heat
- Turn on airplane mode when you don’t need connectivity, especially in low-signal areas, to reduce the phone working hard to find a signal
- Avoid using your phone while charging or use a manufacturer-approved charger to prevent excess heat from charging inefficiency
- Update your apps and phone software regularly to ensure efficient operation and reduce overheating caused by software bugs
- Avoid stacking your phone with other devices and keep it on a flat surface to help it cool
- Avoid sudden temperature changes like putting your phone in a freezer, which can damage components
If your phone overheats, you can also power it off and let it cool down in a shaded, cool place
. These steps help reduce overheating by minimizing battery and processor load, improving heat dissipation, and avoiding environmental heat exposure. If overheating persists despite these measures, it may indicate a hardware issue requiring professional attention
