I wouldn't mind having the ability to schedule a reboot on my phone as an extra precaution.
There is a shortcut action to shut down the phone which you could trigger with an automation, I suppose.
I can put the phone in lockdown by press-holding the power button and select the "lockdown" option. Not bad, but an actual reboot daily at night wouldn't be so bad.
That's not what I mean, I'm talking about the Shortcuts app:
This had never occurred to me before but it’s great, thanks! I expect that alarms don’t run until after first unlock, so 3am wouldn’t be great if I use the phone to wake up but later in the morning should be good.
I believe it should still work, as alarms trigger for me even if my phone updated overnight or I put it on the charger dead before going to sleep, but I'll have to test it
