You’re using apps that their developers have not updated and optimized to be fully optimized. The developers have had since June to resolve issues, but evidently they favor their bottom line over a good customer experience.


Your top 3 apps are using nearly 80% of your battery capacity. Please download the latest versions of your apps and check every few days. Instagram released 3 updates in a week recently.

Your iPhone 14 model has different hardware, runs at slower speeds and does heat up as much. The iPhone 14 models are over 2 years old and the app developers have had time to optimize the performance of the apps for the older hardware.


If you think it’s an iOS issue, the next step is to do a forced restart of your iPhone. This can resolve many battery and heat related issues.


A forced restart does much more than just turning your device off and back on. Please follow the instructions in the Apple Support article I linked below.
