If this does not fix the temperature warning on your iPhone and the iPhone is not getting warmer at all, you should contact the official Apple Support about that, they can diagnose your iPhone online, to find the reason for that.

It is normal for an iPhone to run warmer than usual for a day or two after a major iOS update due to background processes like indexing.


However, if the issue persists, there are several steps you can take to resolve it:

  • Wait it out β€” Background tasks like photo indexing and data syncing can cause the phone to heat up temporarily after an update.
  • Update your apps β€” Third-party apps may need updates to run efficiently on the new iOS version. Check the App Store for any available updates.
  • Check your charger β€” Using a high-wattage charger can cause the phone to heat up. Try using a standard 20W charger or a different power source.
  • Remove the case β€” Some cases can trap heat and prevent the phone from cooling down properly.
  • Enable Low Power Mode β€” This reduces background activity and can help lower the phone's temperature.


If your iPhone continues to overheat, you may want to contact Apple Support for further assistance.


Good Luck! πŸ‘‹πŸΌπŸ˜‰

I have already tried that several times including letting it shut down for 2 hours.
