How To Fix Android Phone Overheating Issues Due to Instagram App?

Have you noticed your phone gets too hot when using the Instagram app? If yes, you are not alone. The Instagram app is consuming more battery than it should.

Today, CoreNetworkZ Tech Solutions will investigate the reasons behind the Instagram app's excessive battery drain and explain.

Giuseppe Bettoni, a senior marketing executive, said, "Hello Alex, my Samsung Galaxy has been overheating for a while. It seems like something is draining the battery too quickly. Is this a common issue with all Samsung Galaxy phones?"

I asked him when he sees the phone overheating problem, and he said whenever he uses the Instagram App.

He asked if the Instagram App drains Mobile Phone battery quickly.

Unfortunately, it does. Our team checked the Instagram app's performance on multiple devices and found it drains the battery more than expected.

Google explained that the Instagram app was responsible for a faster battery drain issue found on Pixel phones. However, Google has not clarified whether the problem was limited to Pixel phones or affected other Android devices.

Radhika Menon, a fashion designer from Chennai, asked, "Why is my Redmi phone overheating while checking Instagram Reels?"

We developed a fashion website for Radhika, and she is a client of CoreNetworkZ Tech Solutions. So, she frequently contacts me to clear technical doubts.

The answer is simple.

Radhika's Redmi phone is overheating while checking Instagram Reels due to excessive battery drain caused by the App.

Some readers have asked why the Instagram app consumes too much battery charge. So, CoreNetworkZ Tech Solutions tested a few affected devices.

The Instagram App has some issues with battery power management. Whenever it runs in the background, it drains the battery quickly.

Anand Manohar, a senior software developer at Infy, says, "I suspect the reason behind the battery charge mismanagement by the Instagram app is not an accident. Meta is working hard to improve their AI program. I doubt they might have added some hidden AI features, and that overstrained the Phones."

Hanna Maria, a senior journalist at CoreNetworkZ Tech Solutions, reported that multiple phone models from Google Pixel, Samsung, Redmi, and Xiaomi show overheating issues after installing the Instagram App.

CoreNetworkZ Tech Solutions reached out to a Meta Engineer for an explanation.

He dismissed the opinion of Anand. He said there is no report on the role of AI implementation so far.

Let us come to the final part of this article. Here, I recommend a few findings from CoreNetworkZ Tech Solutions to fix the battery drain issues caused by the Instagram app.

1. Uninstall the Instagram App and Use Instagram Lite

   Now, I will come to the solutions part. I explained that CoreNetworkZ Tech Solutions tested the Instagram App and found it faulty on multiple Android phones. So, I suggest you obliterate the App from your phone.

   You should use Instagram Lite as it does not consume the battery much. Praveen Kumar, a Chief technician at the Redmi service center, confirmed this solution.

   Praveen said, "Many customers are coming to the service center with this problem. I recommend they uninstall the Instagram app and use the Instagram Lite."

2. Google's Solution to Instagram Battery Drain Issue

   Google addressed the issue and mentioned it in their Android support forum. The solution is to update the Instagram App to the latest version. You can read the complete solution by visiting the link below.
