Stop using it immediately.


Put it in a fireproof container and get it out of your house. You can drop it off at Apple for recycling. It is not safe to use.

If you like your iPhone and don’t have another model, it might be worth putting in a new battery. However, if your budget permits, now might be a good time to purchase a newer model.


You get improved cameras, access to newer apps, a more modern and secure iOS and much more. I still have an iPhone 7 Plus. I don’t use it much, but charge it periodically and keep it as a spare in case one of my grandkids breaks their newer iPhone.
