Blow the warm air up the windscreen and at your feet rather than through the vents to which the phone is attached.
Buy a better one lol

Use a phone holder attached to the air vents.
The air coming out, be it heated or cooled will always be cooler than your phone.
Last summer my iPhone shut down a few times due to overheating, and this little $10 phone holder saved the day.
Also, if one is fitted, remove any protective case as the phone will cool better without a plastic coat on.

As mentioned heat in the winter should be directed across the windshield instead of the main vents. Summer should be opposite, AC from the main vents instead of the windshield.
This keeps your windshield from freezing in the winter and let's you AC your phone in the summer if you have a vent mount.

I'm not sure if you get my issue. It's my phone while Ubering that heats up. Lol
Putting the heat onto the windscreen just creates major fog.!!!!

You are cooking your battery. Allow the phone to discharge at 50%, then charge at 100% and rinse & repeat.

What do you mean the phone heats up. Does it give you a notification the phone is too hot? Or does it just feel warm?
This happens to me in summer, keep out of direct sunlight or the iphone may shut down.
By the way, what phone are you using?

Odd, normally due to the laws of thermodynamics it does the opposite. I know the toilets run backwards down there, but I don't understand how your defogger could create fog unless it was clearing out some trapped moisture, which should be temporary at most.
To explain: Hot air can hold more water than cold air, so when hot air goes across your windshield and heats up the windshield it actually sucks the moisture off the windshield effectively drying it out.
That is in addition to the hot air melting any ice off the exterior of the window, it's a win win win (inside, outside, phone) situation.

Samsung 7. I just gets very warm, hot. I give it a blast with the air every now and then.

I think all modern day smartphones get warm with constant use, like Uber.
As long as it doesn't give you a message/ notification that the phone is too hot - you will be fine, nothing to worry about.

upgrade ur phone with a quadcore cpu above 2ghz or one with 8 cores. both of which will result in idling and the phone will never "overheat".
whatever cheapo phone you are using atm isn't powerful enough if you have to have the temperature down in ur car that suitable for penguins.
you have to invest in a phone that capable of running the uber app and anything 2old or too cheap isn't going to do it
