How To Auto Restart Galaxy S20

That’s why it’s recommended to restart your phone every now and then as it helps make everything run smoothly. And in this post, I will show you how to auto restart Galaxy S20. 

You can set your phone to turn itself off and on when it’s idle just to keep things in order and there’s a setting for that. Continue reading down below as we will show you how to do it.

Answers To Some FAQs

If the auto restart is enabled, will the phone reboot by itself while I’m on a call?

No. Your device will only reboot if it’s not being used to make sure that you won’t be bothered, especially if you’re doing something important with your phone.

I’ve set my phone to auto restart but it didn’t. What’s the problem?

There are certain requirements that should be met so that your device will reboot itself automatically. Try to check if the battery was above 30% or that the SIM card lock was disabled. Most of the time, these two are the most common reasons why the phone won’t auto restart at designated time.

My phone should have auto restarted at 6 PM but it did at around 6:45 PM. Why is that?

Your device will actually restart within 1 hour of the time you set. Perhaps some services was still active, that’s why your device had to wait before it restarted itself automatically.

Will auto restart delete my files?

No. It’s just an automated restart and nothing will be deleted or changed in your phone.

That’s pretty much it, folks!
