How to fix iPhone overheating after iOS 16 update issue

If your iPhone is overheating after updating to iOS 16, there are a few things you can do to fix the problem.

First, make sure that your iPhone is in a well-ventilated area. If it is in a case, take it out of the case to allow the heat to dissipate more easily.

Second, try restarting your iPhone. This can often help to fix software issues that may be causing the overheating problem. To restart your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Shut Down.

Third, if restarting doesn’t help, try resetting your iPhone. This will reset all of your settings and data, so make sure to back up your device first. To reset your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset All Settings.

Fourth, you can try updating your apps. Outdated apps can sometimes cause problems, so make sure all of your apps are up to date. To update your apps, go to the App Store > your profile > Update all.

Fifth, If updating your apps doesn’t fix the overheating issue, try updating to the latest version of iOS. To do this, go to Settings -> General -> Software Update. If there is a new version of iOS available, update your phone to it.

Sixth, If updating iOS didn’t help, you can try downgrading from ios 16 to an earlier version of ios. This can be done through iTunes on your computer; just connect your iPhone to your computer, open iTunes, and select the option to “Restore iPhone.”

Finally, if none of these solutions work, you may need to contact Apple for further assistance.

How to prevent your iPhone from overheating after updating to iOS 16

It’s important to take some precautions when upgrading your iPhone to a new iOS version, as there have been reports in the past of devices overheating during or after the process. Here are some tips to help prevent your iPhone from overheating during or after installing iOS 16:

  • Do not use your device while it is updating. This includes leaving it plugged in and actively using apps or games.
  • Avoid letting your device charge overnight. Once the update has completed, be sure to unplug your device and allow it to cool down before recharging.
  • If you experience any abnormal heating of your device, be sure to power it off and contact Apple Support for assistance.
  • Avoid using apps that are processor-intensive or require a lot of power to run. Apps like games, video editors, and graphic design apps are typically the most likely to cause your iPhone to overheat.
  • If you must use one of these apps, try closing all other apps first and make sure your iPhone is in a cool environment.
  • Keep an eye on your battery usage. If you notice that your battery drains more quickly than usual after updating to iOS 16, it could be causing your iPhone to overheat. Try disabling some features or Background App Refresh and see if that helps improve battery life.
  • Update any out-of-date app on your iPhone. Outdated apps can sometimes lead to compatibility issues that can in turn cause overheating problems.
