The latest tech innovations have made complicated tasks become straightforward. In fact, a lot of manual tasks can now be accomplished automatically. New smartphones for example, from mid-range to high-end are already equipped with several automatic features including automatic restart. And Samsung’s newest Galaxy flagship device also has it. In case you need help on how to make use of the auto restart feature on your new Samsung smartphone, I’ve laid a quick guide for you to refer to. Here’s an illustrative tutorial on how to set auto restart on Galaxy S20.
Performing a periodic restart or soft reset is recommended to ensure optimum performance on a smartphone. Not only that it gives the device a quick breather, a simple restart can also fix various types of system issues that result in random symptoms. Nonetheless, most if not all people would only restart the device when prompted or after a total power drain. While this may not be a serious issue, Samsung made sure to address the matter by integrating an auto restart feature on its patented smartphones including the latest Galaxy flagship lineup.
