Complete loss of data. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/10/android-14s-ransomwa...

Back up your data while you can.

Oh fuck me. Given that I'm on automatic updates and the update has already been downloaded, next time I reboot my phone it will switch to Android 14 automatically. :(

(And yup, I'm using work profiles and all that.)

Good thing you can still back up your data. It's possible it doesn't affect everyone, I'm not sure. Lemme know how it goes when you reboot?

Or avoid rebooting somehow (if it's not automatic) in the hope they somehow fix it...

So far I've avoided rebooting but it looks like the GrapheneOS devs had already fixed the bug a while ago:
