When you meet this case, you may be wondering: “Why does my phone overheat on FaceTime?” Actually, several reasons can result in this iPhone overheating issue. If you want to know the reasons in detail, you can refer to the list below to help you.

3. You are charging your iPhone when you use FaceTime. When you are charging your device, it's normal for it to become hotter. What's more, if you use FaceTime while charging, your iPhone is likely to overheat.
4. The internet connection of your iPhone is weak. You need to use internet while using FaceTime. If the cellular data of your iPhone keeps fluctuating, your battery will drain fast and your iPhone will become overheating.
5. You may encounter some system errors on your iPhone. In some cases, if your iPhone meets some system problems, it is likely to overheat when you use such apps as FaceTime.

Pro-tip:

Overheating problems are often connected to battery performance. If your battery health is below 80%, it cannot handle high usage, and you need to get a new battery.
