# Device restart

An action block that restarts (soft reboots) the device.

The fiber will proceed when the system has started up again.

A system restart may not give other apps time to shutdown gracefully, which can cause corruption or loss of data. Using the device reboot block is preferable.

Caution! A improper flow could repeatedly restart the device thus preventing further access to it, read the Safe mode help page on how to recover from such a situation. Always disable the Run on system startup option in settings during testing.

Note! This feature isn’t officially supported, requires Android 4.4+ and the privileged service, may not work on all devices.
