My phone had restarted twice while I was sleeping over the past 3 nights. For absolutely no reason. I decided to check for an update and sure enough there was one. Or so I thought it was only one. Nope! Because of Samsung's multiple failures (leaving them only slightly better than apple iPhones where they used to be far better than iPhones) there was THREE updates!! I installed the one, input my passcode, and suddenly another update was downloading. I installed that one, input my passcode, and suddenly the third was downloading! I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO MANUALLY CHECK FOR UPDATES!! And it's not my settings so don't even bother commenting if you're gonna suggest I check or change my settings, I've had android devices for years and up until recently NEVER had to check for updates manually. 

Oh and don't get me started on Bixby. It's just as horrible as Google ASSistant. Purposely ignores me quite often when I say "hi Bixby", forcing me to use the physical button to wake the stupid **bleep** thing. 

For a multibillion dollar corporation Samsung sure sucks at making reliable technology instead of junk that you have to force to do what it's supposed to do automatically.

You are free to use another brand's device, if you think it will suit your needs better. Samsung snd Apple aren't the only players in the game.

Your phone was probably trying to auto update (hence the restarts) but you either didn't have the required battery power or you were not connected to wifi. Judging by the comments on this app, most people would love to be able to manually search for the updates and control when they are installed.
