iPhone 14 Pro Max Excessive heat while using YouTube PiP

[JDabney24]

Anyone experiencing this? Anytime I use PiP with YouTube or even twitch, my iPhone 14 Pro Max will heat up excessively. It’s only while using PiP. I can watch videos in the app without it overheating in the slightest. Currently on the 16.1 official release but it has being doing this since earlier versions.

What is excessively? CPU intensive operations will cause heat. Only way to dissipate the heat is through the case.

I’m saying that using PiP has never been so intense on the cpu enough to cause so much heat in a very short amount of time. I don’t know if it is a device issue or a software issue. Just anytime I use PiP it happens. The device will get hot to the touch on both the back of the device and on the front screen very quickly. Like within a minute of using PiP along with rapid battery draining.

I've definitely noticed this. Happens with YouTube and YT TV. As soon as I exit PiP and watch in the respective app the phone cools off. I'm on official 16.1 release.

Same problem here! I have the iPhone 14 Pro and overheats while using Twitch PiP. Any solutions?

Same it drives me mad, why is this doing this

 

[max2]

Same issue.

 

[dennisjr631]

Same here

 

[Kylo83]

is this the app or iOS issue

Same problem here. iPhone 13 Pro Max. It started since iOS 16.1.

Stress the battery, it heats up. That's normal.

 

[vsalmeida]

The problem happens even with the screen turned off, if PIP is enabled. In youtube app, I disabled the PIP in configuration and the problem of overheating stopped happening.

Yeah same I turned it off and it’s fine, I wish they fix this

 

[Kylo83]

Is it an issue with the YouTube app or iOS 16

 

[Kylo83]

Does the new YouTube update fix this?

Still heating up after updating the app.

It’s strange after I had it turned off after the YouTube update I put it back on and now it’s not over heating or dimming not sure what has fixed it

 

[bgdrew]

Twitch does this as well so I think it's an iOS issue with PiP.

 

[Kylo83]

Edit: it still heats up with new YouTube update so yes it’s a iOS issue; does 16.2 beta help at all

 

[jk111]

So I ended up toggling PiP off in the YouTube app, rebooted, turned it back on, and it doesn't seem to be getting as hot anymore. Will keep testing.

EDIT: nevermind, heating up again. Maybe it has to do with certain content on Youtube? Seems okay if I watch a video but a livestream heats up like an oven. Interestingly enough, this does not seem to happen when using YouTube in Safari.

yeah I find that so strange

Same problem on iPhone 14 pro max ios 16.1.10

 

[1BadManVan]

Can confirm I have this same issue on my 14 pro max. It gets quite toasty and the battery drains fast too

 

[vivlund]

I have the same issue on an iPhone 13 Pro. As soon as PIP is enabled, even when the video is minimized, the phone quickly heats up and drains the battery very fast.

I noticed this problem twice now while watching livestream in PIP
