With summer in full swing, so are the seemingly endless days of record heat. But, there are still ways you can have fun and stay cool this summer— all available from your smartphone or tablet. Here are 6 ways that you can enjoy your summer while avoiding the heat:

• Book a private pool for a few hours: Nothing is better than spending a hot summer day by the pool. Thanks to programs like Swimply, you can book a local, private pool by the hour—right from your smartphone or tablet.
• Use a smartphone fan: For the days that you can’t avoid the heat, break out a portable smartphone fan. This gadget plugs into your phone or tablet, instantly enabling you to beat the heat in style.
• Order ice cream through a food delivery app: Enjoy a sweet treat while staying cool by ordering ice cream through a food delivery service like Doordash or Uber Eats. Download the app onto your smartphone and order; Just like that your ice cream will be brought right to your door. No exposure to the heat required.
• Escape to faraway lands: Feeling stuck in your house but don’t want to venture out into the heat? Escape to faraway lands with the help of virtual reality. With this technology, users can relax and see the world without leaving their home. Simply put on a virtual reality headset, launch your favorite apps, and escape to another part of the world.
• Set-up your phone’s medical ID: If you do decide to head out into the heat, be sure to have your Medical ID set-up on your phone in the case of an emergency. Medical IDs allow first responders to quickly provide critical care. Medical ID apps can display emergency contacts, allergies, and blood types on a locked screen in an emergency scenario.
• What’s cooler than a smart home?: The options to connect your home are endless. As we crank up the AC this summer, connected thermostats can help, allowing users to control temperatures by phone or voice, and even offering features to reduce the cost of electricity.

While you’re attempting to stay cool, don’t forget to keep your phone cool too. With simple precautions like limiting unnecessary usage – turning down the brightness, minimizing camera use, and enabling low power mode- taking off the case, and keeping your device out of direct sunlight you can prevent overheating.

There are countless ways to make the most of the summer, while limiting your exposure to the heat. Wireless provides you the opportunity to make lasting memories with the ones you love from the comfort of your home.
