Idk man I just do it when my phone won't ring when I get a call from my dad or doctor or something, so I have to go delete the voicemail and call them back. So like, every couple of weeks. I think it's a Samsung thing, happened on my last phone too.

Nothing wrong with that. I don’t think it’s a mistake to not reboot your phone until you need to. It’s your phone. It’s not like rebooting your phone will save lives or the planet.

My wife doesn’t even use a lock screen password. I’m interested in the nuances of such things.
