Hello ~ After updating your iPhone may feel a bit warm as lots of things are going on. Have you tried a forced restart? Click on below for information to do so…

I would not worry about it too much if you are not getting a warning message.

No. I am not hiving this issue.

A. Start with a Manual Restart:

Having just installed this update, then restart your iPhone, manually. Go here: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


B. Clear Space, as it may be overheating:

As long as you don’t get any messages, your iPhone is fine. And even if you do get a message, you needn’t worry. Your iPhone could be becoming warm for many reasons, including charging.


I think you can have a peaceful night’s rest, without having to worry.


Maybe other users can jump in too, to reassure you.
