Wish this could be reduced lower. If I don’t unlock my phone in a day, something is up and extra paranoia is warranted.

And for minimal hassle if you just hadn’t touched your phone. 12 hours would work great for me.

18h is the default on GrapheneOS IIRC. Got my phone stolen abroad days ago with tones of sensitive data and that features was a big reassurance. I set it to 6h I believe.

I tried to do it using Tasker on my crDroid device, but it requires the phone to be rooted, which mine isn't since some apps detect it and throw a fit.
