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

Reset the phone and install the new update using itunes this solved most of the heating for me. However u can also reinstall Instagram and after doing this turn off background app refresh for all apps and also turn off automatic installation of app updates in AppStore. Also make sure automatic download of system updates and installation is turned off as downloading and update in unstable internet can cause improper installation of updates.
