Android phones will reboot after 3 days of inactivity in new security update, but don't worry, this is a good thing. Just make sure you know your PIN

Android users should double check their pincodes thanks to Google's new update for the mobile operating system. The new v25.14 release of Google Play Services includes a security update forcing phones to reboot after three days of inactivity. This will trigger the standard boot up procedure for an Android device, which includes requiring the users pin before allowing full functionality.

The update has gained attention among tech sites across the web, including The Verge, ArsTechnica, TechCrunch, and of course us here at PC Gamer.
