When I"m out, sometimes I do, especially if the battery is getting low, so I can save it for later

I always power off to get a hard reset instead of restarting my phone but no, I don't ever turn my cell phone off; I listen to music throughout the night.  It's not a bad idea though and thanks for the info.

I was just reading an article about how to stop hackers and they said turn off your cell phone instead of rebooting it.   I turn my phone off when I go to bed and sometimes I even forget to turn it on a few hours after I wake up.

I also feel like hackers would be disappointed with what they gather in my phone- nothing juicy here lol

I can only think of one instance where I have but for me, what would be the point? I don't keep anything of value on my phone anyway so the hackers wouldn't have anything to steal.

I never turn my phone off, at night I charge it when I’m sleeping.

you can also use Do not Disturb on your phone. Only your starred contacts will be able to reach you

I think I will start turning mine off at night. We have had 3 Amber alerts of the middle of the night, it take for ever to go back to sleep.

I used to turn my cellphone off when I go to sleep and turn it back on when I wake up. Seems to be a good practice to prevent hackers from the article below. I will start doing it again now.

I used to turn my cell phone off but now I don't. Unless it acts up or someone abuses and bugs me to death calls or texts relentlessly than it goes off. I just find it annoying to have to turn off all the time

I've never turned my phone off.  When people calls me on one phone, they then go to the other.
