As temperatures soar across the UK this summer, your smartphone might be at greater risk than you think. Each year, thousands of devices suffer permanent damage due to overheating — from swollen batteries to flickering screens.
Here at TikTech, we want to make sure your device stays safe. Whether you’re on holiday, commuting, or just relaxing in the sun, here are some expert tips to prevent heat damage to your phone.
🔥 Top Tips to Prevent Heat Damage to Your Smartphone
1. Avoid direct sunlight exposure
Keep your phone out of direct sunlight whenever possible. Prolonged exposure can lead to battery damage and screen discoloration.
2. Never leave your device in a hot car
Cars can quickly become ovens during heatwaves. Even a few minutes in a parked car can be enough to ruin your phone’s battery and internal components.
3. Let your phone breathe
Phone cases can trap heat. On very hot days, consider removing the case to help your phone stay cool.
4. Reduce screen brightness and background activity
High brightness and multiple apps running at once generate heat. Lower your screen brightness and close apps you’re not using.
5. Don’t charge a hot phone
If your phone feels hot, let it cool down before charging. Charging while it’s overheating can cause further internal stress on the battery.
6. Switch to low-power mode
Enable your device’s power-saving mode to reduce strain and minimize heat output.
