Cops in Detroit are sending out a warning about what they suspect is a new security feature in iOS 18.

    Wouldn’t this make your phone reboot all night while you’re sleeping?

      It will only reboot once unless it is unlocked again https://grapheneos.org/features#auto-reboot

        I keep mine on in case of family emergencies, it’s also my alarm clock

          The only solution would be to simply turn the setting off at night, or have developers add an automatic scheduling option. Of course, you can just set the timer to be longer than your sleep schedule as well, but then you miss out on security.

            Iirc phone calls and alarms still work after a reboot in the lock status, it just disables biometric unlock and keeps the filesystem encrypted

              Well, funny thing–I was once late for a job because my alarm didn’t go off. Guess why? Yep, auto reboot. There was even a notification saying the alarm didn’t go off. Very odd behaviour, but that’s what happened.

      Presumably it doesn’t reboot unless it was already unlocked.
