Some activities such as charging or a lot of computational activity, generate heat. Some warmth is to be anticipated.* Read this article about keeping your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch within acceptable operating temperatures - If your iPhone or iPad gets too hot or too cold - Apple Support
I would also review your Battery Health in Settings. See if there are particular apps that are running all the time that are using large amounts of power.
If you think there is a problem with a device, have Apple inspect it. Go to this page to find your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or Apple Authorized Distributor (AAD) --> Find Locations

It doesn’t get “slightly warmer” even at night while charging as I sleep it has charging interrupted with an alert saying phone is too hot!
Battery health says messages are the only app using significant power at 26%, no cell signal is at 39%!!
