As users only on this user to user only forum, we can't know why your iPhone is restarting. Have you been routinely updating your iPhone as updates have been released? iOS 18.5 was released today, so at a minimum, update to the latest release. Then after you update, Force Restart your iPhone, by following the directions in this link --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


Keep this procedure in your memory and use it after EVERY iOS update going forward.

Hello Justaamerican.
This is not normal with your phone. You should maybe check it with a local hardware store to see if it’s a hardware problem. You could also go to an Apple Store, but they are a little overpriced.

That is HORRIBLE advice. The phone is under warranty and if there is an issue with it, Apple will take care of it. What hardware store do you know which can diagnose or fix an iPhone? Where on earth did you get such an idea??
