What to do if your smartphone’s overheating


Beware of smartphone overheating, which could cause serious damage to the device’s internal components. — AFP Relaxnews

In warm, sunny weather, heavy use of your smartphone can quickly cause the device to overheat. Often due to excessive exposure to the sun or abnormally high battery activity, overheating is never harmless and can cause damage to several of the device’s components, from the battery to the processor or even the screen. It is therefore a good idea to know what to do when your smartphone starts getting too hot.

As a general rule, you should avoid exposing your smartphone to too much sunlight. To cool your phone quickly if it starts to burn your fingers, you should put it in a cool place – at least in the shade – set it to airplane mode and momentarily remove its case.
