That the phone is getting hot might be harmful for it and its battery life. Many phone owners complain about overheating problem of their phones and want to figure out a way to solve it. Actually, there are several reasons such as the surrounding temperature of the phone, large storage taken up on your phone, apps running in the background and many more. To solve this problem, we provide some practical methods to help you cool down your phone.

Ways on How to Stop Phone from Overheating

1. Keep Your Phone in a Cool Place

You may easily find that your phone is more likely to overheat when the weather is hot. So if possible, find a cool place for your mobile. What’s more, when you charge the phone, the charging module will also generate some heat. Thus, do not put your phone around something hot or beside other running devices and remove the phone case while it’s charged.

But remember, placing your phone in somewhere cool doesn’t mean putting it into a refrigerator, because that will also cause damage to your phone. However, you can cool down your phone by putting it in front of a fan or air conditioner vent.

You can go to “Settings” to view storage and delete some unwanted data, but if you find it too complicated, try the products below.

  • If your phone is waterproof, hold it under a faucet and turn on the cold water. That will cool it down really fast. Make sure that the charging port does not become wet.

  • cpu cooler is a scam never trust battery savers, boosters, etc. It'll cause your phone to slow down due to it eating up your ram and memory.
