In <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/product-documentation\/answer\/14343500?hl=en&amp;ref_topic=11273470&amp;sjid=2319012947762548410-NA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">a recent Google Play Services update<\/a>, Google details how your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/best-android-phone\/\">Android phone<\/a> will soon reboot if you haven&#8217;t used it for three consecutive days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How reboots help<\/h2>\n<p>This is important for two reasons. The first is because, to open a phone after a reboot, you must enter a PIN &#8212; no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/worried-about-warrantless-phone-searches-heres-what-lawyers-says-about-biometrics-vs-passcodes\/\">biometrics or other method of unlocking<\/a>. PIN-only access means the phone, and the data on it, is harder to access for anyone with bad intentions. If you&#8217;re one of the people using a phone without <em>any<\/em> sort of unlock protection, this is a significant layer of security.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/why-rebooting-your-phone-daily-is-your-best-defense-against-zero-click-attacks\/\">Why rebooting your phone daily is your best defense against zero-click attacks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The second reason is a little more technical, but just as important. Mobile phones have <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.dsu.edu\/digforce\/2023\/08\/23\/bfu-and-afu-lock-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">two lock states<\/a>: Before first lock (BFU) and after first lock (AFU). In BFU, information and files on a phone are securely encrypted and completely inaccessible, even with complex extraction programs. <\/p>\n<p>This also means that authorities who have seized a phone as evidence, such as local law enforcement or the FBI, will have a shorter window of time to access the device before it becomes much more difficult.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/worried-about-warrantless-phone-searches-heres-what-lawyers-says-about-biometrics-vs-passcodes\/\">Biometrics vs. passcodes: What lawyers recommend if you&#8217;re worried about warrantless phone searches<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A BFU phone remains connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data, meaning that if you lose your phone and it reboots, you&#8217;ll still be able to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/androids-find-my-app-now-tracks-people-too-heres-how-it-works\/\">location-finding services<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Apple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/is-your-iphone-rebooting-after-being-inactive-its-a-feature-not-a-bug\/\">introduced a similar feature for iPhones<\/a> last year. <\/p>\n<p><!----><\/p>\n<h2>Rolling out<\/h2>\n<p>This new feature is part of the April 2025 Google System release notes.
