- 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.
We’ve known for months that Google was working on an Advanced Protection Mode for Android 16. This mode will block the sideloading of apps, enable memory tagging extensions, and disable 2G connections. Now, it looks like Google is adding a security feature we first saw on an Android ROM and Apple devices.
