I was testing some android app that has a 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.
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.

It’s an android app on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/me.lucky.wasted/

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.
