Android Auto-Reboot Security Feature Rolling Out Silently

Google is quietly rolling out a significant security update to all Android devices via Play Services 25.14. This update includes a feature that automatically restarts a locked device after three consecutive days of inactivity. This enhances security by preventing unauthorized access. The update also brings other improvements like improved settings screens and better connectivity with cars and wearables. Released on April 14th, the update may take a week or more to reach all devices. This auto-reboot mirrors Apple's 'Inactivity Reboot' in iOS 18.1, which raised concerns among law enforcement due to increased difficulty accessing data.
