Summary

  • Google is releasing an automatic restart feature for Android devices, which sees the device restart if it’s not unlocked for three days.
  • This renders the device fully encrypted, making it harder for someone to access if it falls into the wrong hands.
  • This feature has been available for iOS since 18.1, and Android users can expect to see it in the Google Play version 25.14 update.
  • It’s not only adjustable restart times that users would like to see, but notifications sent to linked devices to inform them of the automatic reset.
  • It’s unclear at this point whether the new feature will apply to all Android devices.
