As the title states? How often do you restart your iPhone or hard rest your iPhone?
 
Always pushing the envelope huh, E?

:p
LOL!

Nah, just have an alarm that refuses to go off in the AM if I don't restart. Got tired of doing it myself and already had Activator installed, so… :D

I've been told all I need to do is cycle the alarm off then back on, but I already had this set so I left it.
 
I usually turn off my phone for a few hours on Friday night and plug it in at Midnight every week.
 
I restarted my iPhone when I saw this thread.
[doublepost=1520484875][/doublepost]also, am I the only that is afraid they might forget their unlock password.... (I always use face unlock)
 
TBH, more often that I used to.
I definitely felt I'm rebooting my 6S under iOS11 much more often due to certain quirks vs any previous versions of iOS and iPhones. I understand that iOS gets more complex now, and it's about time Apple focus on patching things up instead of shoving in new features.

Guess the poll needs an update: only after installing an update, because that's what I do and reading the thread, most people apparently.
 
I usually turn my iPhone off every Saturday night so I can sleep in on Sunday morning without being bothered. I'm not important enough to mankind that I need to be accessible 24/7.
 
I try to restart mine weekly. I remember reading that it's not a bad idea to clear the cache every now and again.
 
I don't really restart it on a schedule. Of course it restarts when it installs updates. I will restart it myself (usually a hard restart to clear memory) when I notice something acting flaky (e.g., not staying connected to WiFi, an app not syncing reliably with my Apple Watch). A hard restart of both my phone and my watch tends to resolve most issues I encounter. About a month ago the flashlight and camera buttons disappeared from my iPhone X lockscreen, but a restart brought them back.
