How to Turn Off Phone Without Power Button on Android

There are numerous hidden methods to turn off your Android phone without using the power button. Some of these methods can be complicated but not hard to follow.

Turn Off Phone From Settings

You can do a lot from your settings, including turning off your phone. Android phones can have different settings depending on the brand. But, every phone has this fundamental setting.

Go to Settings.
Search for the Power Off and click on it.
This option may be named differently. So, if that doesn't show up, try searching for either Switch Off, Shut Down, or Turn Off.
You can now view all your main settings.
Scroll to the bottom and click on the Power Off option.

You can turn off the phone using this method, but you won't be able to turn it back on without using the power button.

Turn Off Phone With Scheduled Power Off button

For turning it off and on, you can use the Scheduled Power Off feature.

Go to Settings.
Search for the Scheduled Power Off option in the search bar.
Schedule the time to turn off your phone.

You can schedule when you want your phone to be turned off and it will work accordingly.

Turn Off Phone from the Assistant Menu

Almost all Android phones already have the Accessibility feature. It is a tiny floating box that helps you perform various actions with just one tap. It is similar to the Assistive touch on the iPhone. Once you enable this feature, you can turn off your phone easily.

Go to Settings.
Look for Accessibility in the search bar.

On Samsung phones, you can enable the Assistant menu from the Interaction and Dexterity option. On other phones, like Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, you can search for Accessibility and directly enable the Accessibility Menu shortcut.
Once you've enabled the floating box, tap on it and find the power button .

It's best to note that you may need to enable a navigation bar on some phones to access Accessibility. So, if you're having some problems, checking the navigation bar can help.

Turn Off Phone Using Third-Party Apps

For another easier alternative, using a third-party app can help. Power Menu is one such app that's simple to use.

Install Power Menu from the play store and open it.
Select Take me to Settings screen option.
Grant Accessibility permission to the app.
Now, go back to the app and tap on Open Power Menu.
Now, you can select the Power off option.

Note: If your phone is running on low battery, you may not need to take any steps as your phone will turn off automatically. Simply, turn your phone back on by plugging it into your power adapter.
