If your iPhone battery is draining quickly and the phone is constantly heating up, there are a few things you can do to try and resolve the issue:


  • Check for software updates: Make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Apple often releases software updates that include bug fixes and performance improvements.


  • Check for apps that are using too much battery: Go to Settings > Battery to see which apps are using the most battery. If you see any apps that are using a lot of battery in the background, you can try disabling their background activity or uninstalling them if you don't use them frequently.


  • Turn off unnecessary features: Turn off features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Location Services when you are not using them. These features can drain your battery quickly, especially if they are constantly searching for a signal.


  • Use low power mode: When your battery is low, you can turn on Low Power Mode to conserve battery life. Go to Settings > Battery > Low Power Mode to turn it on.


  • Reset your iPhone: If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting your iPhone to its factory settings. Make sure you back up your data before resetting your device. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings to reset your iPhone.
