But, there are a lot of users who complain that they are not living in a place that is that hot, but still having the same issue. So, there comes the real problem.

And that is a hot environment. It means you are using your phone in a place where the temperature is very high. And that’s the fact.

So, please try to use your phone at a balanced temperature, especially If there is, then you should read the next method.

3. Several uses of Phones in Direct Sunlight:

If you are the kind of user who mostly uses their phone outdoors, then direct sunlight can be a possible good conductor to overheat your phone. But, how will you know that your phone is going to overheat so that you can save it from getting overheated?

First of all, your phone’s UI will slow down and you will experience a laggy UI. And because of this, you may also face lots of amount of battery drain.

So, when you go out and use your phone in direct sunlight, you need to increase the brightness of your phone. And after doing some tasks, you don’t turn the brightness to normal like before.

And that needs high processing power to process your phone, resulting in your phone getting, overheated. So, please, reduce the brightness after using the phone outdoors.

And, don’t use the camera too much while you are in direct. You have also realized that, whenever you use the camera for a long time, the output of the recording gets laggy and shaky.

And, it overheats the phone a lot. So, please don’t always put your phone on maximum brightness, and don’t overuse the camera in direct sunlight.

4. Don’t Play Games while Charging and for a long time:

Even in 2023, there are a lot of smartphone users who use their phones while charging. Even some of them play games while charging. And they think that it’s not a very big deal. But it is.

Playing games while charging is also a very big reason for the heating issues. It is just like overpowering your phone. Which is not good though.

When you play games while charging, at that time you are drawing power as well as using power at the same time. And because of that, your phone gets overheated.

So, you can either charge your phone first to at least 90-95 % or play a game until it drains to 15-20 %. But, don’t do both at the same time.

And if you are the kind of user or player who plays games for hours and hours, you are the real threat to your phone. Because you are pushing the limit of your device. It may sound offensive, but that’s true.

So, if you want your phone to function very well for a long period, then you should keep all the points in your mind that I have mentioned above. With this method also you can fix iPhone 15 Pro heating issue.

Notifications like updating apps, brand offers, matrimonials, and more. So, these are kind of unusual notifications. So, if you disable all unnecessary notifications, then it can help you to fix this issue.
