Google is rolling out a new update to Google Play Services, which will automatically restart Android phones and tablets if they have been locked for three consecutive days.

This security feature aims to protect user data by putting the device into a “Before First Unlock” state, where data is encrypted and harder to access. 


Once the device is locked for three days, it will automatically reboot and require the user to enter their passcode to access their data, to prevent unauthorised access.
