Your Android Phone Will Now Automatically Restart After 3 Days if Untouched
The new feature is designed to better secure your data if you don’t regularly turn off your phone.
Google Systems updates for April include a new security feature. If you leave your Android phone or tablet locked for three consecutive days, your device will automatically restart. You’ll need to re-enter your passcode to open the device.
The latest Google Play services update is designed to better protect your data when you aren’t using your device. It’s the latest addition to Android’s built-in security and privacy features.
Android’s forced restart is basically a way to keep your data safe without forcing you to power off your phone — something many of us go for days and weeks at a time without doing.
The new feature is similar to Apple’s inactivity reboot, which was rolled out with its iOS 18 in November.
What else is new in Google Play services?
In addition to the new security feature, the latest updates in Google Play services include the following:
- You can preview content before accepting a Quick Share transfer on your phone.
- You’ll see an updated user interface for usage and diagnostics.
- Setting up your new phone and transferring data from your old device is now easier.
Google System updates are available for phones, tablets, wearables and other Android and Google devices.

Hurry to Nab the Baseus Bowie MH1 Headphones for Over Half Off With This Early Black Friday Deal
This deal drops the price of this premium pair to just $47, but this discount ends soon.
High-quality noise-canceling headphones can cost a pretty penny, especially if you are after adaptive ANC, all-day comfort, and a reliable battery life. Most options with all these features sit well over $100, but we just found a way to score a premium pair for less than $50.
Amazon has a solid early Black Friday deal on the Baseus Bowie MH1 headphones. You can get them for 20% off right now, which drops the price to $80. But stack that with the $25 on-page coupon and use the promo code 8JWTGEUN at checkout, and you slash another $33 off. That brings the final price down to just $47, which is a steal considering all the features you are going to enjoy.
The headphones come with cloud-soft protein leather earcups with resilient memory foam for cloud-like comfort. The pair is capable of blocking up to 99.8% of noise with –48 dB deep noise cancellation, and it adapts to your surroundings as needed.

The 36mm drivers and full-range LCP diaphragms give you clear, rich sound no matter what you listen to. In addition, with Baseus Immersive Spatial Acoustics, the audio surrounds you for a more natural listening experience. For clearer calls, the headphones also pack 5-mic sound sensors with AI-powered voice enhancement and wind-noise reduction. You won’t have to repeat yourself constantly.
Battery-wise, you get up to 80 hours of playtime with ANC off, and 55 hours with it on. A quick 10-minute top-up can also get you up to an additional 10 hours of playback, which is great for when you’re out and about.
