Save My Phone?

Hello Wizards :)
Even with battery saving mode/AR off, my phone battery runs out rather quickly. Sometimes, my phone overheats too.
My phone is relatively new and it does not happen when I play other mobile games or use gps apps. Think I'm addicted to this game, so it sucks when I can't play it because I need my phone for normal use.
I am using an iPhone and I don't like the idea of charging and using my phone at the same time. Any tips to counter this?.
Cheers

The Unity engine that Ingress Prime, Pokémon Go, and Wizards Unite uses is really bad on batteries. I have an iPhone X 256GB, and I've never seen apps use so many resources.
I charge while playing, and have a chunk of aluminum (I gather it was a heat sink from an old stereo or radio) that helps bleed off excess heat when I hold it against the back of my iPhone. ( I have a 7.) I also have Battery Saver turned on and turn the phone upside down as often as possible (but leave a finger on the screen so it stays active -- at least until they fix that bug). Good luck.
Thank you @Sonicgott + @CadeElizabeth f or sharing your tips!. Good to know I'm not the only one facing such issues.
The resources usage thing is so true, and the "leave a finger on the screen" is also quite a problem too. I also hope that maybe they might have lesser repeated animations for faster gameplay/battery usage.
Good luck everyone!! :)
Another way that is not mentioned is to download the assets. Go to your briefcase, then the settings cog in the upper left. At the bottom is an option to download all the assets. This takes about 3.3GB of space, and is best to do over wifi.
Ultimately,this is less data that your phone has to receive while playing, which means faster load times and less battery used.
