It’s not just people who struggle with the heat; technological devices also suffer from extreme weather conditions. Phones often display warning messages indicating that the device is overheating. Extreme weather doesn’t just make life harder for people; it can even damage phones.
When a device overheats, certain functions may temporarily shut down, and in extreme cases, the phone might even turn off by itself. This overheating can occur even if the temperature is within the normal range, but the device is being charged.
Phones stored in hot conditions for extended periods may suffer permanent damage to their batteries or other components.
5 tips to keep your phone safe in the heat:
1. If your phone has already overheated and displays a warning message on the screen, turn off the device, place it in a cooler location away from direct sunlight, and let it cool down.
2. To avoid overheating, keep your phone at a proper temperature and avoid using it in direct sunlight.
3. Do not leave your phone in a parked car or near a heat source.
4. Remove the phone case, as some covers can trap heat.
5. Use low power mode, which disables some background activities.
