My iPhone X has been getting warmer when browsing facebook just wondering if it is normal? I checked the temp with a thermometer and it was at 90 degrees Fahrenheit in a 72 degree room just scrolling and reading after 20 minutes of straight use.

Is this temp normal?
 
The Facebook app is a resource hog for some people even though personally I’ve not had any such issues. Monitor if this happens with other apps.

From experience with older iPhones as well as my X this is normal behavior. Both apps are processor intensive generating more heat than say Messages. No reason to be concerned... unless you smell smoke or see a flame ;-)
