New Delhi. Over the past two weeks, there have been severe heat waves in many sections of the nation, with temperatures rising beyond 50 degrees Celsius. Humans find it difficult to function at these temperatures since the heat can exhaust all of our energy. In a similar vein, our devices experience extreme overload on days like this. In the end, these phones are essentially small computers that fit in our hands with technology that gets hot. Additionally, there is battery charging technology that raises the temperature, which is not good for the gadget or the person standing next to it.

What to do in scorching heat?

So, how can one truly take care of their phones when the heat reaches such high levels and is there any way to avoid a huge disaster ruining your phone? This comprehensive guide will tell you what to do and what not to do with your phone when the temperature rises above 46–48 degrees.

Cutting back on the number of phone calls you take should be your first priority. Placing the phone speaker in front of your face while speaking could cause it to react in a way that could endanger the individual.

Avoid letting your smartphone's battery get below 30% because doing so will lead the battery to seek out additional power from the charger, which will cause the device to overheat. Use your phone sensibly and sparingly, because fast-charging phones may make the heat problem worse. Yes, this is crucial: only use reputable, standard chargers and avoid using your phone while it is charging.

Cutting back on the number of phone calls you take should be your first priority. Placing the phone speaker in front of your face while speaking could cause it to react in a way that could endanger the individual.

Even watching movies on YouTube for extended periods of time can be dangerous, so heavy users who enjoy playing games on their phones should cut back on their usage. Another significant component that causes heat in phones is screen brightness. Ideally, you should leave it on auto-brightness rather than the highest setting, which could cause the phone to overheat.

Power Down the Power Drainers

Certain activities can push your phone to its limits, generating more heat.  During hot days,  reduce screen brightness, close unnecessary apps, and avoid graphic-intensive games or streaming for extended periods.  Consider enabling battery saver mode for an extra layer of protection.

Cool It Down, Naturally

If your phone starts to feel warm, turn it off and let it cool down naturally in a shaded, air-conditioned space.  Avoid the temptation to stick it in the refrigerator or freezer –  the rapid temperature change can damage internal components.

Case Considerations

While a fancy case can add personality to your phone, bulky or insulating cases can trap heat.  Opt for a slim, lightweight case made from breathable materials during the summer months.

Keep it Charged (Strategically)

Leaving your phone plugged in while it's already hot can add to the heat.  Try to avoid charging your phone in direct sunlight, and if possible, unplug it once it reaches a full charge.

Keep Software Up-to-Date

Manufacturers sometimes release software updates that address overheating issues.  Make sure your phone's operating system and apps are updated to the latest versions.

By following these simple tips, you can keep your phone cool and prevent overheating issues this summer.  So go forth, take those sizzling summer selfies, and stay connected – without the risk of a meltdown!
