From what I've read, which is unfortunately not authoritative, modern phone batteries + charging systems are much better for that and it's fine to do that. With old (10 years old) phones it was sometimes recommended to fully discharge from time to time, but I think that is no longer recommended.

I.e. you are right, there's a lot of confusion
