iPhone 12 gets very hot while using Google maps but not with Apple Maps

Basically I have a iPhone 12 and when using Google maps it gets very hot but when I switch to Apple Maps it immediately starts to cool down, I can use Apple Maps all day and it will never get pass warm.

thank you very much.

It has nothing to do with Google or Apple Maps.


My experience says this is purely caused by some third-party app that you may have installed.


I am not aware of the ambient temperature in which you are using the iPhone. However --> Keeping iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch within acceptable ...


Store the device where the temperature is between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave the device in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.


Use iOS devices where the ambient temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might cause the device to change its behavior to regulate its temperature. Using an iOS device in very cold conditions outside of its operating range might temporarily shorten battery life and could cause the device to turn off. Battery life will return to normal when you bring the device back to higher ambient temperatures. Using an iOS device in very hot conditions can permanently shorten battery life.

Ok, let’s just say it’s a 3rd party app and it’s running but how come it only happens when Google maps is open but not with Apple Maps, I’m changing between these maps immediately. My car interior temp is always between 60-70 degree. Fahrenheit

i can also be using Apple maps & listening to YouTube music or any other app it will never get hot but running

google maps alone is when it’s get hot to the touch.

seems like Apple does not want us to run Google maps on iOS
