Google 's mobile operating system Android will now automatically reboot if the phone is locked for three days in a row.

The thinking behind adding an automatic reboot after a certain period of inactivity is to make life more difficult for someone who is trying to unlock or extract data from a phone.

Last year , Apple rolled out the same feature for iOS.
