Is it bad to restart your phone?

There are multiple reasons why you’re supposed to restart your phone at least once a week, and it’s for a good cause: retaining memory, preventing crashes, running more smoothly, and prolonging battery life. Restarting the phone clears open apps and memory leaks, and gets rid of anything draining your battery.

What will happen if I restart my iPhone?

An ordinary reboot of your phone — which Apple calls a restart — does not cause you to lose data, except for any unsaved files you have open in apps without autosave. To restart the phone, press and hold the “Sleep/Wake” button until a red slider appears on the screen.

Should you restart your iPhone?

There is no reason to (or guidance for) restarting a phone unless you experience a problem. Restarting does not “keep it healthy.” It is only ever necessary to restart the device if you are experiencing a problem and need to troubleshoot. Otherwise, it’s pointless, and unnecessary to regularly reboot any iOS device.
