It's long been a common practice among people who don't like slow phones.

    I remember my old phone had the option to auto reboot and I had it set to like 3am but now I don’t see that option on newer phones. My previous phone didn’t even have a reboot option I had to shut it down and power it back up

      For Samsung phones. Go to Settings -> Device Care -> Under Performance you will see Auto Optimization -> At the bottom of the page you will see Auto Restart -> Restart on Schedule -> Done.

          For iOS they do; I would assume for Android they will as well. It would be pretty bad if an automatic update stopped you from waking up in the morning…
