Why Would I Switch My iPhone Off?

There are a few reasons why you may wish to switch your iPhone off. Here's a quick overview of how turning your iPhone off can be beneficial. 

• To save battery life. If your iPhone battery is running low, but you don't need to use it for a while, it can be a good idea to power it off during any time you don't plan to use it. It's not really worth it for short periods of time, but if you don't need it for hours or even days, it helps.
• To troubleshoot an issue. Sometimes if your iPhone is running into errors, sluggish behavior or simply not operating correctly, restarting it can correct the issue. 
• To not be disturbed. The iPhone's Do Not Disturb mode is very effective but if you don't even want to be tempted to look at your iPhone, switching it off means you're completely private away from your smartphone. If you need to focus on work or studying, it can be useful.
