Samsung phones include an automatic restart feature that is activated every 72 hours. Samsung phones include an automatic restart feature that is activated every 72 hours. If you don't unlock your phone within this timeframe, it will restart. Why? Because this process prevents the device from receiving app notifications, blocks alerts from certain services on the home screen, and makes making and receiving calls impossible.
So, if you have a spare phone or have left your phone somewhere, you can rest assured that after 72 hours, no one using it will be able to see WhatsApp notifications (if you haven't hidden them) or any other alerts and won't be able to answer any incoming calls.
Does this make sense? Well, although it is a very specific and useful feature only in a very specific situation, the fact is that previously, a charged phone that could not be remotely locked could display unlimited notifications on the lock screen, as well as receive calls that could be answered without the need for a lock code.
From now on, if you leave your mobile phone somewhere, whether it is your main device or not, it will remain on after 72 hours, but no one will be able to spy on what you receive or who calls you.
- If you don't like it, you can disable this option on your Samsung phone.
This option appears to be enabled automatically, depending on your region. Whether you like it or not, you'll find it in your Samsung phone's settings, under "Privacy and Security," then "More Security." There you'll find the "Inactivity Restart" option, which will restart your device if it hasn't been turned on for 72 hours.
Is it advisable to enable this feature? Well, if you haven't unlocked your phone for 72 hours, it probably means you can't access it, or it's a secondary phone you don't use often. So, it seems good to have it automatically restart to prevent anyone from accessing your notifications.
Returning to normal is very easy; all you have to do is enter your code, pattern, or password, and the device will start receiving notifications and working as usual.
