    Hi there GKNAIR,

     

    It sounds like your iPhone is restarting on its own. If it doesn't seem to be related to a specific app on your phone, then quit all the running apps, otherwise just quit the app that seems to be causing the issue:

     

    Force an app to close in iOS
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201330

    1. Press the Home button two times quickly. You'll see small previews of your recently used apps.
    2. Swipe left to find the app you want to close.
    3. Swipe up on the app's preview to close it.

     
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:

    If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.

    If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself. 

     

    If nothing works, and the device keeps doing this even when restored as new, then you will need service for your iPhone:
