To protect phones and cool them safely without harming them, it is recommended to follow the following steps and instructions:
Safe cooling methods:
Removing protective covers: Covers, especially ones made of plastic or leather, trap heat inside the phone and prevent it from cooling itself, so it is preferable to remove them immediately when the device heats up.
Stay away from direct sunlight: The phone must be moved to a shaded or cool place, and avoid leaving it inside closed cars that become a very hot environment.
Stop heavy applications and wireless features: It is recommended to close games and applications that consume a lot of effort from the processor, and stop features such as (GPS), (Wi-Fi), and Bluetooth, or activate “airplane mode” temporarily to reduce the effort expended by the device.
Use dedicated cooling fans: External cooling accessories designed for smartphones can be used to effectively reduce their temperature during office use or gaming.
Important warnings to avoid damage to the device:
Avoid the refrigerator completely: Experts strongly warn against placing a hot phone in the refrigerator or freezer. A sudden and sharp change in temperature leads to moisture and water condensing inside the phone, causing permanent damage to the electronic circuits and motherboard.
