When using some applications, my phone gets hot and shuts down. I can't restart till it cools down and completely drains the battery. It appears to happen when the application has video adds within it.

This mostly happens when I'm reading an article and it has video adds (or that seems to be the most relative thread). The phone will start getting hot and then it shuts down. Using the normal sequence to restart doesn't work. I usually need to cool the phone down and when the battery is completely drained, it will do a restart when I plug it in. The battery charges normally and still has good life.

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

Changes in software such as upgrades may introduce new features which may add to power drain and heat generation. Check the Battery Health feature to see if there are apps running that use a lot of power. If there are, decide if you need them running all the time or can turn off a service when an app is in the background.
