Schedule an automatic iPhone restart without prompts

I agree with you. For some reason Apple Automation permits you to set up an "automatic" automation and also permits you to choose an option that supposedly bypasses confirmation. But it nevertheless requires a confirmation. Elsewhere on earlier Community posts people like you and me have posted the question and instead of a helpful answer or a positive response from Apple have received instead vehement "THERE'S NO NEED TO REBOOT!" messages (just like the Community used to vehemently disavow the need for antivirus on Macs). Here's one reason people may want to do it:

And by the way, Android can do it. iOS cannot because Apple, in all its paternalistic wisdom, knows better.

By default I never came across any such options for the iPhone.
