Overnight charging

One one hand, Apple says to not charge the phone overnight and on the other hand, you need to leave your phone plugged in for backups to take place. Can I set a specific backup time to avoid their guidance on no overnight charging?

iPhone 15, iOS 17

calm with the “misinformation” charge. It was a mistake on my part to say it was “Apple”. Several articles about safety issues etc while charging overnight. My main concern is that my phone isn’t backing up and I’ve been under the impression it’s not safe to do

so- leave it plugged in all night. My wife’s phone is not plugged in overnight and her phone does backup. I have the same settings turned on as her phone.
