As summer heats up, smartphones often overheat due to prolonged calls, gaming, or GPS usage, which can impair performance and diminish battery life. Here's how you can keep your device cool.

As summer temperatures rise, the heat inside your smartphone rises too. Many phone users notice the unusual warming of their phones, particularly during extended calls, gaming, and while using GPS. Smartphone overheating can hinder your phone's performance, and over time, can shorten the battery's lifespan as well. Fortunately, a few simple habits can help keep your smartphone cool and working properly throughout the summer months.

1️⃣. Avoid Direct Sunlight

Leaving your phone in the sun, for even a few minutes, can cause it to overheat in no time. Make sure your phone is in the shade, regardless of whether you are at the beach, in the car or sitting by a window. A cloth covering your phone (or putting it in an insulated bag) will help avoid excessive direct heat, thereby avoiding heat build-up. Avoid Direct Sunlight.

2️⃣.Turn Off Unused Features

Using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, mobile data, location services, and more tend to consume a lot of battery and generate heat. If you're not using these, turn them off! Reducing the number of features your smartphone is working on leads to a cooler phone. Also, switching to Airplane Mode when you don’t need connectivity features will help your phone stay cool.

3️⃣.Avoid Heavy Usage During Peak Heat

Use caution while playing games or watching videos in the heat of the afternoon sun. It is best to avoid intense usage during the hottest part of the day in general. If your device starts heating up, take a break until it cools down.

4️⃣.Remove the Phone Case

Cases can trap heat, especially thicker or rubberised ones. If your phone gets hot, remove the case to allow a little breathing room. For optimal cooling, place it down on a hard and cool surface so it releases heat even faster.

5️⃣.Close Background Apps

Having too many open apps at one time can unnecessarily add pressure on your phone's processor. Swipe away the apps that you are not currently using, and also give your phone a rest by powering it down and rebooting. You'll keep your phone cooler and also have increased battery life as a result.

These simple suggestions can go a long way in the long run to keeping your device protected throughout the summer. Obviously, a cooler phone is going to perform better, last longer on a charge, and have a reduced risk for potential long-term damage.
