Android’s new auto-reboot feature could add fuel to the privacy battle fire

Usually, something like a Google Play Services update isn’t a big deal, even if you own an Android phone. The software is vital for a lot of the tasks Android apps depend on, certainly — it enables everything from single sign-on functions through to fitness tracking, malware scanning, and serving up Google ads. But on a week-by-week or month-by-month basis, updating it doesn’t normally have much consequence, certainly not compared to updating other aspects of Android.
