Beat the Heat: How to Protect Your Phone From Overheating

Mexico Braces for Heatwave: Protecting Your Cellphone from Overheating Mexico is expected to experience a significant heatwave in the coming days. The National Meteorological Service has issued a warning, prompting concerns about the potential damage to electronic devices. One such concern is the overheating of cellphones, which can lead to performance issues and even permanent battery damage. To address these concerns, several tech companies have offered advice. Apple recommends using devices in environments between 0 and 35 degrees Celsius. Exceeding this range may affect the phone's functionality. Avast, a cybersecurity firm, suggests turning off the phone if it overheats to allow it to cool down quickly. The video also recommends turning off WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth when not in use, and lowering the screen's brightness. 'It's important to let your phone cool down before charging,' advises one expert. Failing to do so can permanently damage the battery. By following these simple steps, users can protect their devices from the damaging effects of extreme heat and ensure their cellphones remain functional during the heatwave.
