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.
I hope there will be a way to turn that off, but I’m afraid there won’t.

I like it but, why so long? If I haven’t unlocked my phone in 24 hours I’m either dead of hospitalized, 3 days seems super extreme.
or maybe, I have replaced it with a newer phone, and repurposed it as some sort of lightweight server or something. So it doesn’t get unlocked anymore, ever
Especially since so many phones won’t make it 72 hours without a charge, even if sitting unused.
3 days seems like a good “default” but I agree I’d definitely like the option to make it shorter.
That’s good, if I don’t unlock my phone for 3 days, either the phone is lost or I’m dead.
The latest Google update will make your phone more secure if you don’t touch it…
Fuck entirely off. The last time my phone surprised me with an update, it was ads on my goddamn lock screen.
What brand is your phone?

You want to do this even with custom roms.
Having your phone automatically go into the BFU state ensures that there’s only a small window for a thief to extract data from your phone.
If you ever think your phone is about to be stolen or seized you want to power it off for this exact reason.
They’re saying custom ROMs like Grapheneos have had this for a long time already.
I read it as “This is a silly Android thing that I don’t have to deal with because I use custom roms”.
I use Graphene and use this feature, but I can understand why it would seem silly to some people and I can think of use cases where you wouldn’t want it to happen (like using your phone as a security device with Haven (https://github.com/guardianproject/haven)) installed.
Most Android users don’t understand the BFU/AFU states and the security implications, it is good that default android is including a sane security default that’ll be pushed out to the standard Android users.
Lineage as well, mine reboots at 4am every day

It is not enough to lock the phone.
An advanced attacker that has access to forensic imaging tools can pull data off of your phone as long as it has been unlocked the first time after boot.
There are some models and some OSs (like Graphene on the newest Pixels) that are safe, for the time being, in AFU mode. You still want to power the phone off if you have the chance.
In your friend’s situation, his phone can be powered, isolated from RF to prevent remote wiping and kept in a lock state in order to preserve the keys in memory until an exploit is found for that model. If the OS automatically reboots after 3 days, it prevents this kind of attack.

It makes sense for a number of reasons. You could be being detained or your device could be sitting in lost and found.
Stock LineageOS doesn’t seem to have that feature
@bobs_monkey@lemm.ee says it does
They say their device restarts at 4 am but they don’t seem to show how to set it up. On my Note 10 I don’t seem to have this feature with stock LineageOS, maybe they’re running a modified version of it, like Resurrection Remix
i think samsungs already do this. as long as i can turn it off if i ever need to.
a charging limit would also be nice.
Pixels can be configured to limit charging to 80% these days.
I’ve started using it and the difference between using 80% and 100% on a daily basis is negligible, I rarely if ever let my device go below about 35% anyway. So this change is basically free battery life for the device
Samsung have a setting to set the charger to only charge to a certain amount over night
So if you plug it in at 1800 at 0230 or whatever it won’t be charging until just it calculates that it will be full charged when you wake up
Those who forego freedoms for security end up with neither.
Oh yea, the freedom of
checks notes
not rebooting my phone.
Give em an inch…
Please explain to me how this could be the first step towards something sinister. I absolutely don’t see it.
It is my phone.
I don’t want my kids playing with it.
I don’t want the government snooping on it.
I don’t want the CEO of Apple or google making any changes to my property without my consent.
Yet my kids play on my phone despite my objections.
The government snoops
And Tim Cook and google want to remind us it is THEIR PHONE
Please answer my question.
Sounds like you’re just salty you’re incapable of raising your children
You sound like my wife. Thanks
/s?
freedom lol
If they’re free to crash our economy
Can I be free to crash MY PHONE?
