    “This actually caused some annoyance among law enforcement officials who believed they had suspects’ phones stored in a readable state, only to find they were rebooting and becoming harder to access due to this feature.”

    I love it.

    That’s good, if I don’t unlock my phone for 3 days, either the phone is lost or I’m dead.

    Fuck entirely off. The last time my phone surprised me with an update, it was ads on my goddamn lock screen.

      Google itself as of this moment never did put adds on a lock screen, it is the manufacturer or third party apps who can do it. Some Realme and Xiaomi phones do it afaik and probably some other brands.

    Good security feature but only for the phone in your pocket. The old one used as a camera, homeassistant screen, sms to email forwarder, ssh server, will stop being useful.

        On the 9to5Google article it says

        Update 4/16: Google has updated the changelog entry to add that auto-reboot is “optional” when it comes in the “future.” This addresses some concern from people who run continuous Android devices, with tablets somewhat fitting into that.
