Overheating

So my iphone xs has this problem with overheating very easily. I have tried multiple things like new cases, restarting it, and closing apps. It does this so much that now it starts to crash now and it will do it when i’m texting people and other things like that with no other apps open. Is there anything else I can try to help this, or is it a manufacturing problem?
