On my family's iPhones, we have a Shortcut (automation) that kicks in every evening at 9 pm:

1. Turn Mobile Data Off

2. Turn Bluetooth Off

3. Turn WiFi Off

4. Turn AppleTV off (this one is fun because it can cut off a show mid-sentence)

5. Set brightness to 10%.

Then, a reverse of the above at 6am the following day.

Normal phone signal is still enabled for any emergency calls, but most apps become useless without the internet.

I understand that's not the case, but I want to imagine your AppleTV coming back to life at 6am every morning, resuming the show mid-sentence at 100% volume. Instant alarm clock.

Android user here. Is this something built into iOS or do you use an app for that?
When I turn them all of them off somehow it stays connected to my car (when I am in my car).
Sounds about right.

Curious question, up until age 18 did you have a similar upbringing?

That's kinda hard to answer without dating yourself, which the OP might not want to do.
This is great, thanks.
