Many people believe that smartphones work well like computers—that you have to shut it down if you are not using it. However, many experts believe otherwise. Our smartphones have what most computers have too; memory, a Random Access Memory (RAM), a processor, the list goes on. But many people still beg to ask the question: How often should I restart my phone?
Some people firmly believe that restarting a smartphone erases everything they have on their phones—wrong. Restarting your phone or rebooting it, simply gets rid off all processes your phone is having. For instance, if you feel that your phone is becoming hotter to the touch, restarting your phone can cool it back down.
Note: Your phone feeling a little too hot is normal because of the material you have on your phone. It is not normal when it’s hot to the point that you can’t touch it.
In addition to the processes, restarting your phone is like letting it sleep while it is turned off. This is why many people know their smartphones too well and they just know the perfect timing on when they should let it sleep.
