Wish this could be reduced lower. If I don’t unlock my phone in a day, something is up and extra paranoia is warranted.

And for minimal hassle if you just hadn’t touched your phone. 12 hours would work great for me.

I think you may be able to do something like this with a shortcut.

Iirc reboot requires user input so you can’t automate.

Yep. I tried to do it with a shortcut and it was basically a reminder to reboot that could be ignored.
