There’s literally an app does let’s you wipe your phone for a period of not unlocking your phone (Its called “Wasted” available on Fdroid), so there has to be one that could do a reboot (without the wipe), right? 🤔

(If not, can anyone of you try to make one? I’m kinda jealous of Apple having that feature built in to iPhones. 😓)

      Yea… I already mentioned that I knew about this.

      But the point of this post is that having your house down everytime you haven’t gone home for 24 hours, isn’t the same as a your house automatically going into lockdown with blast shields covering every door and window when you left home for more than 6 hours.

      Locks > Nukes for most scenarios.

      I’m sure if your nuke (Wasted) gets accidentally triggered because you got drunk one night and passed out for more than the timer you set, you will never use the app ever again. And if you timer is wayy to long like 72 hours, then the bad actors would have time to break in.

      A lock (an app turning AFU to BFU) is more versatile. I could set it to as low as 3 hours, and even if it gets triggered all the time, its only a minor inconvienience of having to input the pin/password and wait slightly longer for things to load, not the same as a nuke.
