How do I stop my phone from overheating?

To stop your phone from overheating, cool it down safely and reduce the things that create heat.

Do this now:

• Take off the case.
• Move it to a cool, shaded place.
• Stop heavy use like gaming, GPS, or streaming.
• Close apps, or turn on Airplane Mode for 10 minutes.
• If it’s still hot, power it off.

Don’t do this:

• Don’t put it in the freezer.
• Don’t leave it in a hot car or direct sun.
• Don’t keep using it while charging if it’s already warm.

To prevent it later:

• Use an official or certified charger.
• Lower screen brightness.
• Keep apps and the operating system updated.
• Turn off Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi, or GPS when you don’t need them.
• Avoid heavy use while charging.

If it keeps overheating even when idle, check the battery and charger.
