Android 16 is getting a little more secure by stealing this iOS feature (APK teardown)
  • 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.

  • Meanwhile me not giving a F about this news because I use CalyxOS and the feature to auto-restart the phone on inactivity with fine customizable time and not a fixed 3 days exist since a long time already there

    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
