Did you recently perform an update. I see you are using iOS 26 that was just released today and you should expect your phone to be hot for several days, and not unusual for it to take a week for the indexing to complete. If you were previously using the beta version of iOS 26, that is expected as well through the entire beta process.
Your phone does have temperature sensors in it and will show a thermometer on the screen and shut down when it gets too hot. I assume you are not seeing that.
Stay tuned there will be many users saying the same thing for the next week after the update, then those posts will gradually go away. The same thing was seen on iOS 18, 17 and previous iOS updates. It was predicted here as well to get ready for the battery heat and battery draining posts after the update.
I had the same problem, I solved it with a forced restart a few days after the update, the battery was draining like crazy and the phone was getting hot.
Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
Have you looked at your apps using battery capacity? Many apps have not been optimized to provide best battery life yet. This includes most games and most social media apps. Facebook isn’t causing a drain like it did in iOS 18, but Instagram is causing issues so, I’m taking a break from it. TikTok is a problem being reported in the forums here.
Wait a few days to let all the tasks that need to be done to complete.
Is your iPhone almost out of storage space? How big is the storage and how full is it?
Same thing happened with my apple phone 15 pro max now can’t hold my phone after update iOS 26 my phone became too hot first I’m think because file to big that’s why but phone became hot every day even using music apps on or google search I can’t hold my phone anymore
I have the same problem. It used to get hot sometimes, but now it's constant (not hot), but it's hot, and it's been heating up much faster since iOS 26. I've already tried a force restart, but nothing. I thought it would be better with iOS 26.1, but it's still heating up. My wife has an iPhone 12 mini, but nothing for her! And the battery is draining much faster. Previously, it lasted 1 day with 80% charge, now even 90 is not enough!!!
hey i’ve been using ios 26 for well over a week and after it was publicly released instead of beta and till now my phone struggles with heating problems and is super laggy when im on call and trying to use my phone it gets very hot im using an iphone 15 pro max if anyone knows any solutions please lmk
This is not a solution. All Apple should do is release an update that fixes this. It's getting hot for me, which is definitely not good for the phone or the device! They said that it would go away after 1-2 weeks if the phone didn't do so much in the background. Previously, if a lot of things were running at once, it would get a little hot, but now it's fine.
ouuu thanks a lot, i used beta so didnt notice new update
Hello, I have purchased a new iphone 15 just yesterday and updated from ios 18 to 26 yesterday itself, it is heating alot. Should I wait or reach out to support?
Almost a month has passed and problem persists! Had no issues before update!
