Many users heavily depend on their phones and require a working device at all time. However, sometimes devices end up in reboot loops, which cause users to file support tickets or warranty inquiries. This process is frustrating for users and expensive for device manufacturers and carriers.
Android 8.0 includes a feature that sends out a "rescue party" when it notices core system components stuck in crash loops. Rescue Party then escalates through a series of actions to recover the device. As a last resort, Rescue Party reboots the device into recovery mode and prompts the user to perform a factory reset.
