How to restart your Android phone without the power button: 2 free and easy methods
"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."
"As for me, I generally restart my phone every Saturday. I have to do that manually, because Google removed an auto-restart feature from Android some time ago. There are apps available to add this functionality back, but I'd much rather do it myself. Every time I restart my phone, it seems like some kind of magic has happened under the hood; my Pixel 9 Pro is back to being a pro again. You should seriously consider doing this as well."
Regularly restarting an Android phone improves performance by clearing temporary caches, enhances security by disrupting in-memory malware and attacks, and often resolves slowdowns, overheating, app crashes, and connectivity problems. Weekly manual restarts can restore responsiveness and stability. Auto-restart was removed from Android, and third-party apps can reintroduce scheduled restarts, though many users prefer manual control. Relying on a physical power button for restarts can cause wear and present accessibility challenges for people with limited dexterity. Android offers alternative restart methods that avoid pressing and holding the physical power button.
