Be aware of the laws where you live about using your phone while driving. Keep your safety and the safety of others in mind. Vent mounts can be purchased at many convenience stores or online. They either hold your phone with a clamp or with a magnet. Be cautious using vent mounts in colder climates, since they would then be absorbing the heat coming from the vent.
Some phones have a “low battery mode” that automatically turns off apps that refresh in the background and help reduce the heat your phone produces. Location services and games are taxing to your processor and they can make your phone heat up faster. If you don’t need to use them, turn them off. Social media and contacting apps, since they constantly push notifications, are huge battery drainers and can overwork your battery.
Use a light-colored case rather than a dark-colored case. Light reflects off of lighter colors while darker colors absorb the heat.
Park in a location that receives a lot of shade rather than in the sun if you are able. Avoid storing your phone in the glovebox since the heat from the engine or transmission can add to the damage. [4] X Research source
Window covers can be purchased at many big box stores, automotive stores, or online.
A dark-colored towel will absorb heat and make your phone warmer.
Keep an ice pack in a separate pocket of the lunch box so it stays cold for longer. If there isn’t another compartment, put the ice pack in a resealable bag and wrap it in a small towel so your phone doesn’t suffer any water damage.
