In my experience, heat is not necessary, but can be helpful on these displays. A suction cup and some force is generally sufficient.
As was previously mentioned the iOpener tool would fit the bill, but if that’s not an option, I have been known to use “heating pad” type alternatives. Rice, barley or oats in an old cotton sock + a microwave would serve a similar purpose. Although these contain some moisture, so I advise caution when employing this method. Or encasing in shrink wrap or a ziplock bag before applying to the phone.
