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.

That's not what I mean, I'm talking about the Shortcuts app:

This had never occurred to me before but it’s great, thanks! I expect that alarms don’t run until after first unlock, so 3am wouldn’t be great if I use the phone to wake up but later in the morning should be good.

[–] mbtrhcs 2 points 2 weeks ago

I believe it should still work, as alarms trigger for me even if my phone updated overnight or I put it on the charger dead before going to sleep, but I'll have to test it

GrapheneOS has the option for a scheduled reboot if the phone hasn't been unlocked for a configurable amount of time.

Dont know what lhone you are speaking of, but on Samsung phones, the only thing that this does is disabling biometrics and notifications. Your phone stays in AFU and this does not protect you from law enforcement or other

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It protects you from being compelled to provide biometrics to unlock the device. Since the courts have made a distinction between providing a password and biometrics to unlock devices for whatever asinine reason.

Biometrics are what you have and a password is what you know. I can record you and look at you or even grab a part of your body (e.g., for fingerprints) but it's not possible to read your mind.
