Is Apple iPad getting hot? Here's how to cool down

Why is my iPad so hot? It's common, but also scary, to have your iPad feel hot to the touch. More importantly, it prevents you from using your iPad. Here's what to do if your iPad is overheating.

Why does your iPad get hot?

First of all, why does your iPad get hot? There are several factors that may cause this:

Environment. iPads are great for reading by the pool, but they have their limitations, namely temperature restrictions. Avoid using iPad in high temperatures or direct sunlight. Poor air circulation. The iPad doesn't have an internal fan to keep it cool. They rely on vents to circulate air. When these vents become clogged with dust or debris, the iPad can't cool itself. Charging problem. It's normal to get warm while charging, but your device shouldn't feel too hot to the touch. Overheating could be a sign that your charging port is running low or that you're using a faulty third-party charger. Processor exhausted. Preheating is the device's way of signaling for help when its internal components are overworked or worn out.

What happens when your iPad overheats?

You'll know your iPad is overheating when it's overheating. In addition to getting warm, your iPad may start to exhibit some other symptoms: Apps are slowing down. The screen dims by itself. The battery is not charging or charging slowly. See the "Cool Down" warning message appear on the screen.

Overheating will not only cause the game to pause, but may also damage the battery.

How to cool down your iPad

Resist the urge to put your iPad in front of a fan or put it in the refrigerator. Quickly cooling an overheated iPad can damage it from the inside out. Not to mention that fluid exposure can become a problem in itself.

Close some applications

Close your applications. Especially ones that are no longer in use. Your iPad uses energy (heat) trying to keep all open apps in standby mode. If your device feels hot to the touch, turn off all devices.

Stop Charging

Sounds easy—we get it. Electric current encounters resistance as it passes through the component, and this resistance generates heat. As a result, tech devices tend to get hot while charging (and even hotter when charging and being used at the same time). Disconnecting your iPad from its charger reduces one source of heat to worry about.

Removing the case

Some cases can block the iPad’s vents. Make sure your case is not one of them. If so, remove the case.

Turn off background app refresh

The background app refresh feature keeps your apps up to date, even when they're not in use. It uses energy, producing heat. For apps that must be open, turning off background refresh can be a big help. Follow these steps to turn off this feature:

Open the Settings app. Click General. Click on Background App Refresh. Click the switch at the faucet to turn the feature off completely.

Tips to Keep Your iPad Cool and Prevent Overheating

Use Only Apple-Certified Chargers

You probably don’t think about the third-party chargers you pick up at the corner store – Well, you should consider it. You will notice that this charger wears out faster than Apple-certified chargers. You may not notice that third-party chargers can cause damage to your charging ports over time – these chargers are often not built to the same specifications as Apple-certified chargers, so they can easily damage your The charging port causes more wear and tear on your device.

Lower screen brightness

Turning down the screen brightness (especially when you're not in direct sunlight) can go a long way toward keeping your iPad cool. If you forget to turn down the brightness, turn on adaptive brightness. That's it:

Open the Settings app. Click Display & Brightness. Use the brightness slider to change the screen brightness. In the meantime, turn on True Tone and let iPad automatically adjust screen brightness based on the light around you.

Use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only when needed

Turning on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth causes iPad to constantly scan for signals—even if there isn't one you want to connect to. You don't need to turn on Bluetooth unless you are currently using a paired accessory.

Give your iPad a break

We know it can be hard to take a break from gaming, especially when you're on a winning streak in the Steam app. We recommend bringing your game to a Steam Deck or other console. Give your iPad a break to give it a chance to cool down after heavy use.
