#3 Use Tasker to turn off your iPhone automatically when you go to sleep

If you are battery conscious, you might consider wanting to turn off your phone or putting it on airplane mode during the night.

Tasker is a great app that will help you turn off your iPhone automatically when you go to sleep. This app can be used on Android as well as iOS devices.

This app will turn off your phone if it is not being used for some time and can be used in different ways too. You can set this app up so that it turns off your phone automatically when you fall asleep at night or even in the morning after getting up from bed.
