iPhone overheating

Good day everyone I recently downloaded the new iOS on my 11 promax. Since then my phone has been overheating and battery is dying rapidly. Sometimes the phone gets extremely hot. What should I do or who should I report this problem to?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 17

Some activities such as charging or a lot of computational activity (e.g., video), generate heat. Some warmth is to be anticipated.* "Keep your iPhone, the power adapter, and any wireless charger in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging."** 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 Settings > Battery to see if there are apps running that use a lot of power. If there are, decide if you can turn off a service such as Settings > General > Background app refresh when an app is in the background, or Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
