New Auto Restart is a Bad Idea

I need to be alerted to my Ring app alerts/notifications immediately, obviously. I live in bad, bad place. 

So when the phone decides of its own volition to restart at 2:20 AM, this means that I will not be awakened by any alert that someone is prowling around my house or my vehicle because I have not unlocked my phone. 

I don't want my phone to restart in the middle of the night. Bad things happen in the middle of the night. And I am not able to receive notifications of these bad things happening. 

So, I had to turn off the auto restart feature altogether. 

Bring back the option to set a specific time. Seriously, why take that away? Why mess with something that isn't broken?

Jesus Christ. Dont make things worse just to be able to say you made some changes.

I did turn it off, as stated clearly in the post. My suggestion was to bring back the option to set a specific time.

But hey, thanks for your thoughtful input.

Apparently the developers didn't take into account that locked devices would not be able to fully boot up rendering devices partially catatonic until the user allowed access...

I figured they wanted to move it into routines, but there's no way to reboot. Very strange removal.
