2. Don't keep your phone under the Sun

In order to avoid it, if the app is not of much use to you, you are advised to uninstall or stop using such mobile applications. Some of the heavy or power intensive apps can be of games, video editing, among others.

4. Use only your phone's charger to charge it

Your phone can get charged from the chargers of different brand phones. However, this can harm your phone's battery and can also heat up the phone while charging. Therefore, you are advised to use the charger of your phone or of the same brand whose phone you are using.

5. Use a phone cooler

You can also consider buying a phone cooler , if you stay at a place where the normal temperature is also high. You can attach the phone cooler at the back of your phone and thus stop your device from getting heated.

6. Turn it off momentarily

It may sound weird but turning off your smartphone for a moment when it has already heated up may help with reducing the temperature.

7. Do not use the camera

Your phone's camera requires a lot of processing and hence, it heats up the internals by quite some margin. Hence, if you notice the phone heating while shooting videos or clicking pictures for a long time, simply turn off the camera and let it rest.
