Google's upcoming security feature for Android devices will automatically reboot them after three days of inactivity, requiring a PIN for access. This bolsters data protection, particularly for phones lacking unlock defenses. The reboot mechanism enhances the device's security posture by switching it to a state where data remains encrypted and inaccessible to potential attackers. As part of the April 2025 Google System release, this functionality could extend to tablets but not to wearables. This mirrors a similar feature previously introduced for iPhones by Apple.
Rebooting Android devices every three days helps enhance security by requiring a PIN entry, thereby protecting data from unauthorized access.
