    I wouldn’t mind having the ability to schedule a reboot on my phone as an extra precaution.

      I think graphene does this by default now? Like if you don’t unlock it for 24 hours it’ll reboot.

      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.

    Aren’t iPhones switching from AFU to BFU if you don’t unlock them long enough anyway? Or is BFU not the same state as entered if lock and volume down button are pressed for some time?

    That would be super cool if that was a feature instead of a bug because anything that makes law enforcement’s job harder is worth praising and doing properly.
