• An Android Authority app teardown has revealed that Google is working on an inactivity reboot feature.
  • This security feature would reboot devices if they’ve been locked for three consecutive days.
  • This will likely be part of Android 16’s Advanced Protection Mode, which also blocks sideloading, disables 2G connections, and more.

    Pretty cool, three days is kinda long for someone’s primary phone though, I wonder if they’ll let you reduce that to 24 hours or something

      I just hope you can enable that without needing to activate that “Advanced Protection” thing because no sideloading sucks
