In the wake of a surge in new vulnerabilities, Samsung has issued an advisory, urging Galaxy users to restart their devices daily to avoid security risks.
The warning follows a recent alert from Google, which highlighted an "alarming frequency" of potential exploits targeting Android users.
In response to the warning, the Android-maker and its original equipment manufacturers are rolling out essential updates to address these vulnerabilities.
Smartphone users are urged to remain vigilant and look out for signs of device compromise.
Samsung's warning emphasises the importance of regular reboots, which can help prevent issues related to performance and security. The Galaxy maker stated that restarting a phone can resolve problems such as freezing or slow performance.
The practice of rebooting smartphones has gained attention over the past year, particularly as both iPhone and Android devices have introduced automatic reboots after three days of inactivity. Doing so also makes it more challenging for law enforcement agencies and cyber attackers to extract user data.
Citing sources, Forbes reported: “Restarting your phone daily is the best defence against zero-click attacks.”
Samsung urges Galaxy users to automate this process by setting their phones to "auto-optimise daily" or scheduling regular restarts.
With increasing attacks driven by the forensic industry, daily restarts could be essential to prevent devices from catching potential threats.
