Instagram causing iPhone to overheat iOS 16.4.1

I used instagram for 40 min with 100% battery and within that 40 min my battery reduced to 91% and phone became hot but all i did was scroll through some posts and i didnt even upload or used my camera on instagram. I was on a 4g connection and not on 5g. Is this normal or is this due to severe lack of optimisations from instagrams part

I have the exact same issue.

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max currently under 16.6 but I had the problem under 16.4 also.

Whenever I start using Instagram my iPhone starts boiling … and it drains the battery extremely fast.


i can use tiktok of whatever other app it doesn’t do it… instagram has an issue within the app and both apple and meta need to seriously consider doing something about it.
