"I regularly restart my Pixel 9 Pro, and there's a good reason for that. Actually, there are several reasons why I regularly restart my phone (weekly -- at least). Here's a short list for you to ponder: Improves performance by clearing temporary caches. Enhances security by disrupting possible cyberattacks and clearing possible malware stored in memory. Resolves issues such as if your phone has slowed down, is getting hot, apps are crashing, and you're having connectivity issues, a restart often will fix those issues."
"However, what if there's a reason why you can't press and hold that button? I know some people with arthritis in their fingers, and pressing and holding a button can be a challenge. On top of that, the wear and tear on physical buttons is a real thing. Fortunately, Android has alternative methods for restarting the OS, options that don't require pressing and holding a physical button"
Restarting an Android phone clears temporary caches, which improves performance and responsiveness. A restart disrupts potential cyberattacks and clears possible malware stored in memory, enhancing device security. Restarts often fix slowdowns, overheating, crashing apps, and connectivity problems. Automatic restart capability was removed from Android, though third-party apps can restore scheduled reboots. Manual weekly restarts are a simple habit that can restore optimal operation. Physical power buttons suffer wear and tear and can be difficult to use for people with arthritis. Android provides alternative restart methods that do not require pressing and holding a physical button.
