Phones can suffocate because the heat from the sun’s rays damages their internal circuits.
Over time, continued exposure to heat can even lead to data loss or screen damage.
However, there are security strategies to help cool it down and give your device an endless summer. These include simple tweaks, like removing the phone’s casing, reports The Mirror.
Keep your phone away from other technologies
When phones rely on other technology, like laptops or tablets, they can overheat more easily.
Avoid using your phone while it’s charging
Charging your phone can heat it up, as can running many apps at the same time.
When the phone is charging, using apps or even texting can make it hotter.
Also avoid placing your device in a place that is too cold, such as the refrigerator or freezer. Many materials in your phone can expand from heat or contract from cold. Sudden changes can contribute to wear.
Turn off the phone
When a car is moving, it heats up more than a car with the engine off.
Similarly, a phone will feel cooler completely turned off, rather than left idle. So it might be a good idea to turn off your phone from time to time.
Use a charger in good condition
A poor quality charger or even a good charger that has seen better days can pump electricity into your mobile device in a way that contributes to overheating.
Remove the case
Your phone case can act as an extra layer of insulation, trapping heat like a long-sleeved sweater, on a hot day.
No direct sunlight
Of course, direct sunlight will only heat up your device and increase the risk of damage.
Move it to a shady spot to reduce the amount of heat coming from above.
