HOW TO AVOID PHONE OVERHEATING
Update your apps
If you notice your phone has started heating up for no apparent reason, try looking at some of the apps you’ve recently installed. It’s possible that one or more of them may have a bug that’s causing your phone to overheat. Updating apps usually fixes this kind of problem; if not, try uninstalling the app to determine if it’s the reason your phone is overheating.
Avoid direct sunlight
This seems like a “duh” piece of advice, but it can be quite easy to forget about your phone when you’re outside soaking up the sun. Cover your phone with a blanket or something similar to prevent it from overheating — you may need to work on your tan, but your phone definitely doesn’t.
Use an antivirus (Android)
We really can’t stress enough how important it is to use antivirus software on your Android phone. Overheating aside, getting malware on your phone is going to give you a huge headache at the very least. At the most, it could leak your sensitive information, steal your banking details, hold your personal files hostage, spy on your physical location, drain your battery — the list goes on, but the bottom line is don’t be dumb with your smartphone. Make sure to use an antivirus.
