Android is launching a new security feature that automatically reboots devices if they remain locked for three consecutive days, requiring users to enter their passcode upon the next unlock attempt. This feature, included in the latest Google Play services update, applies to Android phones and tablets, creating a Before First Unlock (BFU) state that encrypts data files and disables biometric logins. A similar feature is found in Apple's iOS. The rollout timeline for this new feature is still uncertain, as it typically takes a week or two to implement across devices.
