Overheating and excessive battery drain by application - Facebook App.

Overheating - Battery draining rapidly - Anyone else? I am on new iPhone 17 MAX noted issues with overheating opened ticket with Genius Bar for next day. I started looking at Facebook App possibly causing issues for battery drain and overheating. Context Apple Online support Dailed into phone ran preliminary diagnostics all passed - so I backup phone as instructed then thought - I did not see issues except when using FB - So I deleted app - so far iPhone is not over heating and I will charge to 95% and watch over next 14hrs to see if this issue is resolved. Unsure if anyone else is experiencing same issues. My cellphone is not in direct sunlight or being used differently than pre upgrade...noted same to support.
