How do you accidentally reset your phone?
Right? That’s like “I accidentally tripped and brewed a cup of coffee.” It’s not exactly a one-step process.
Lol, see my other comment. Basically it’s an app that lets you trigger a reset in case of a situation. I have abusive family members, so I have that just incase they want to steal my stuff. It’s a “nuclear option” so my data doesn’t end up being examined by crazy family. I accidentally triggered it when I didn’t need it to.
Wow, that’s some hardcore government spy type stuff. Sorry about your family.
I was testing some feature that basically if certain conditions is met your phone will get wiped. It’s useful if, for example, an activist wants to avoid incriminating evidence being found. (I’m not an activist btw, just an example) So I’m kinda paranoid about family members trying to get into my phone (long story), so I set up my phone so that I can easily trigger a reset if needed. But yesterday I was tired and I kinda accidentally triggered the app.
It’s an android app on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/me.lucky.wasted/
TLDR: Basically I have untrustworthy family members so I have an app that let’s me reset my phone quickly if something happens. I triggered it by accident.
I see, I didn’t know that was a thing. I hope you manage to get into a better situation if that’s the case.
If they use custom roms or root their phone it’s actually not that hard and may just be a part of the install process for certain things and it’s very easy to forget some things

Sorry, keyboard size reset to default. I’m still going through settings… 😅
