Pretty much what the subject says. My phone is getting super hot for no reason after the 18 update.
No, not leaving it in the sun hot. I will be texting someone and all of a sudden, I can’t even hold my phone it’s that hot!!
Why and how do I fix this?

Original Title: 15 Pro Max Hot after 18 update
iPhone 15 Pro Max
Those are normal conditions after you update your iPhone as it must re-index all of your data and complete other background tasks such as installing new features. Indexing is the process of creating and sorting a searchable database on your iPhone, many features use that on iPhone such as Search in Messages. But these conditions should go away after a few days.
By the way your iPhone is still usable during this time. If it were overheating at a dangerous level beyond the iPhone's normal operating temperature range, it would shut itself off with a message and prevent you from using it until it cooled down.

Update to 18.5 as Katana-San pointed out.
No. I’m not getting the temperature alert, but you can feel how “hot” the phone is getting. I mean like can’t hardly touch it hot!!
The screen goes darker. Sounds are not as loud, then the phone starts to heat up.
Even now, with this page being the only thing running….it just went dark and it’s hot.
Yes. I understand this. And I do let my phone “update and relax” after a major update. However, this wasn’t supposed to be a MAJOR update.
It’s 18.4.1. It is a HORRIBLE update btw. I do NOT like what it did with photos
