Stop demanding tasks and let the device cool down naturally, out of the sun. Unusual heat that persists deserves a diagnosis.
Identify the context
Does the heat appear while gaming, charging, on a video call or even at rest? Note the context and the surroundings. A phone left in the sun doesn’t behave like one used in a temperate room.
Also watch the messages shown and how charging behaves. This lets you describe the problem without immediately concluding the battery is faulty. How often and how long it happens both matter.
Let the phone return to a normal temperature
Stop demanding tasks and move the device out of the sun. If it gets unusually hot while charging, stop charging. Let it cool down naturally in a suitable place; avoid sudden temperature changes.
On iPhone, charging can be slowed or put on hold because of temperature. That message describes a protection, not automatically a faulty port. Follow the instructions shown on the device.
Observe simpler use
Once the temperature is back to normal, compare the behaviour in everyday use. Avoid changing several things at once: you would lose the clues about when the problem happens.
If one app is always linked to the heat, note its name. If the heat appears with a particular accessory, keep that in mind too. Don’t keep testing with a damaged cable or charger.
Have persistent heat checked
A device that gets unusually hot at rest, switches off or is bulging must be examined. The symptom alone doesn’t tell which part to replace or what the repair will cost.
To request a diagnosis, give the model, when the heat appears, the accessories used and any warnings. This avoids basing the repair on too general an impression.
