India heatwave: Your smartphone is a ticking bomb, here is how to protect it from overheating — 10 step guide

As temperatures soar and heatwaves become more frequent, smartphone users are grappling with overheating issues. When a phone overheats, its processor may throttle down to prevent further heat buildup, resulting in slower performance, lag, and delays in app responsiveness.

High temperatures also accelerate chemical reactions within the battery, causing it to degrade faster, leading to reduced battery capacity and a shorter lifespan.
