According to what a reader sent to Engadget, a technology news media, the '

Pixel 6 Pro ' charged with a wireless charger generated abnormal heat even though the smartphone was not touched for an hour. It happened that the battery was rapidly decreasing. When I checked the battery consumption breakdown, it was confirmed that the Google app was consuming a lot of battery in the background.

Similar issues have been reported on the Google support forums and Reddit, and Reddit user nocapsallspaces said, ``My Pixel 6 Pro and my wife's Pixel 6 had an abnormal fever, even though I wasn't using a smartphone. Within hours, the remaining battery power has decreased by about 20%.' In addition, nocapsallspaces said about this problem, ``I believe that the latest update of the Google app delivered around May 12, 2023 is the culprit.''

Another user revealed that a similar problem occurred on his smartphone, saying, ``Google apps and Android System Intelligence seem to be consuming a lot of battery, so I did a factory reset and tried again. I installed the app, but I'm still having problems with heat and battery consumption.' ``Not only does the battery not last long, but the smartphone gets very hot, which may shorten the life of the battery and the internal CPU.''

Mr. nocapsallspaces downloaded various versions of the Google app to address this issue, and reported that heat and battery consumption problems occurred regardless of the version. A reader who reported the problem to Engadget speculated, ``If there is no problem with the version of the Google app, this fever problem may be on Google's server side.''

On the other hand, Google has not commented on this issue at the time of writing the article. Also, when nocapsallspaces reported this problem to Google Support, he explained general troubleshooting methods and how to cool the smartphone, and reported that the problem was not resolved.
