My iPhone X comes on by itself after I turn it off

Is anyone having this same problem?


Is this an Apple bug or third party spyware??


When I power my iPhone-X off (slide power icon switch to the right) at night the phone turns itself back on all by itself!


I do not have auto update feature turned on.

I want to to clarify your reply.

I charge my iPhone and iWatch at night just before turning in for the day.


because I don’t want the iPhone ON approx. 18” from my head for 8 hours when I am not using it I started turning off my phone for two reasons:


1 health reasons

2 Privacy, I don’t want my phone’s mic on... ( there has been a lot of news lately about people’s mic 🎤 remotely being turned on !

So how do I keep my phone off!! For the evening for privacy and safety since Apple has yet to come up a way to charge it while wearing it ?

Turn it off and don't plug it in.

If you shut it down completely an it powers on by itself without being connected to a power source, then something is wrong. Make an appointment at the genius bar and have it checked.


If you don't want to do that, and you're paranoid about non-existent radiation and baseless rumors, then plug it in in a different room to charge and turn on Do Not Disturb so it doesn't ring and wake you.
