Google's latest feature will help you keep your Pixel phone from overheating

It's no secret that phones, like most electronics, can overheat. Especially when you're using them outdoors under the hot sun. Google Pixel phones have built-in features to help combat this problem, but these come with their own drawbacks.

As noted in this report and according to Google, Pixel phones are designed to intelligently manage their own performance, and this includes regulating temperature. When the phone senses it's getting too hot, it automatically limits certain functions. This might mean slowing down charging speeds, turning off the camera's flash, or even partially disabling the internet connection. In extreme cases, the phone might even shut itself off to prevent damage.

But there's more that can be done to help. In a recent APK breakdown, a recent update to the Pixel's Device Health Services app (version 1.27) was discovered to introduce a new feature in development called "Adaptive Thermal." This feature monitors your phone's battery temperature and alerts you if it's getting too hot.
