Turn off iPhone daily: Here’s why
Are you like us and hardly ever turn off your iPhone? According to the US National Security Agency (NSA), you should not do that. It is even better to turn off your iPhone for five minutes every day, according to Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Several tech experts also agree with his statement, because you make it more difficult for spyware.
However, it is not the solution to every problem. Malicious software such as ‘Reign’ and ‘Pegasus’ exploit certain vulnerabilities in the operating system. And even after a reboot they will continue to do harm.

However, turning off your iPhone for five minutes every day won’t hurt. In fact, it’s even good to restart your iPhone regularly. Your iPhone often responds just a bit more smoothly and all kinds of background tasks get a fresh start.
Still, your iPhone is quite safe and spyware is very rare on Apple’s smartphone. But if you make the chance even smaller by rebooting, then that’s a nice bonus, right?
