iPhone 12 Pro restarts after being turned off

My iPhone 12 Pro running iOS 17.4.1 was having some issues with text messages and I decided to reboot it so I turned it off. It immediately turned it self back on - about 20 seconds after it shut down - without me turning it on again. I have now tried it 4 or 5 times - and every time - it goes back on about 20 seconds later.


Is this some bug with the latest update?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 17

Yes - it was sitting on a wireless charger when I turned it off -- I pushed the two side buttons and slid the thing across at the top of the screen to turn it off. Because of your question I just did it again while it was not on the charging pad and it did not restart after 20 seconds. Not sure why that made the difference but thanks very much! Good to know what works.
