Google Presents Auto Re-boot Features For Android Users

JAKARTA Google will add important security features to its Android system. This feature will make the device re-boot after being left locked for three consecutive days.

This feature will be available in Google Play service updates, according to 9to5google findings. In the records of the release of version 25 of Google Play services, to be precise at the bottom of Security and Privacy, there is an automatic re-boot capability to maintain device security.

"With this feature, your device will automatically restart if it is locked for 3 consecutive days," Google wrote in its release note. Most likely, this feature also works on tablets that use the Android system.

With this information, it is certain that this automatic re-boot feature will not be available on other types of Android devices, such as PC, TV, or smart watch.

When the device enters re-boot mode, the phone will return to Before First Unlock (BFU) status. This status will make the data encrypted and more difficult to access. The majority of devices will not be able to open before entering the code.

In fact, users who are used to login to biometric technology, both with fingerprints and faces, must still enter passwords. Once the password is processed, the device can be opened more easily.

This will help Android users whose phones change hands or are stolen. If you're looking forward to the feature, you'll need to wait until the version 25.14 Google Play service is released in April the third or fourth week.

Although later this feature will be available, the ability to re-boot automatically may be available longer. With the presence of this feature in the Google Play service, various Android phones will get this feature, including Samsung.
