Android Auto-Reboot Feature: Optional Security Enhancement

Auto-Reboot: Optional, Not Mandatory

• Upcoming auto-reboot on Android devices stays fully optional

• But until now, we were aware that there’s no option to enable or disable this feature.

• Turns out, there actually is.

• Android Authority reports that Google has quietly clarified that the auto-reboot setting is optional, not mandatory.

• The company updated the description in its Google System Release Notes.

• The pdated description reflects that this is a future security feature that users can turn on if they want.

• So if you rely on your device for background tasks or don’t want unexpected reboots, there’s no need to worry.

Advanced Protection and Auto-Reboot

• The feature appears to be linked to Advanced Protection Mode, a new setting in Android 16 for high-security users.

• This mode enables apps and system functions to recognize when someone is enrolled in Google’s Advanced Protection Program.

• While most users may not need this feature, it could prove valuable for those worried about physical tampering or unauthorized access.

• If someone takes your Android device and it remains unused for a few days, the system will auto-reboot and revert to a secure state.
