Advice for Overheating Since 19.0

If you’re like me, your phone has been overheating since the 19.0 update. I have been doing some research and trying several things, and here’s what I have so far for advice.
1) Get on the forums and make your voice heard. Kabam has to realize the vast negative impact they are having on the MCOC community.
2) Go to your device’s settings and turn off “Background App Refresh.” This will keep your phone from trying to run other apps in the background (reducing CPU usage).
3) Keep your device in “Low Power Mode.” This seems to increase the amount of time it takes before the phone gets noticeably warm.
4) If your device is getting hot, stop playing the game. DUH. I know it sucks, but you don’t want to permanently damage your device. You can close the app and wait for it to cool, or do like I do and just lock your phone and put it up in front of the AC vent for about 30 seconds. I’ve also heard of people using ice packs or putting their device in the freezer for a minute.
Let me know what you guys think and if you have any other advice.
Love,

It’s a good start but you shouldn’t have to install a Beta version of an operating system to fix an issue caused by “live” code designed to work on an already established platform. This is getting absolutely rediculous
I fully agree. However, it does seem like my phone is not overheating from playing since I installed it about 40 minutes ago. I am missing a lot of parries though, but that might just be because the game speed has increased slightly.
It’s a pay off though I suppose.
On one hand update to beta to fix one app compared to the potential of updating to beta and potentially affecting other apps
I haven't any issues down here lol
I appreciate your trying—it’s more than the mods have been able to offer up to this point.

1.Go to settings
2. Accessibility
3. Increase contrast
4. Do the following:
Don’t be an idiot and put your screamingly hot phone in the freezer.
By the way, the iOS 12.0 public beta has greatly helped reduce the issues caused by the 19.0 update (at least for me). It still lags time to time, but I was able to grind Uncollected for two hours last night without my phone getting hot. Of course, there is always risk in running an unreleased operating system, but many beta users online already feel it’s less buggy than iOS 11.4.
Good Luck
We're currently looking into everyone's reports to try and identify the cause as well as a possible solution, and requesting that anyone who is experiencing these problems provide their device details. Getting to the bottom of these problems is our top priority at the moment, and as soon as we're able to provide an update, we'll post it in that thread.
Thank you very much in advance for any contribution you can make to that discussion. We really appreciate your patience as we work to address your concerns as quickly as possible!
