In case if device is lost - this is worth to try to erase all data on that by sending SMS.

Hello,

I strongly support this feature request.

Recently Play store made some changes in their policy and SMS control apps having admin rights are being removed. Therefore SMS triggered killswitch applications are disappearing and the one still there are of poor quality.

Your aplication is of great quality. RC have the strong potential to become the first class F-droid anti theft application. It just miss this feature.

I would really like to have it in my pocket.

Just checked, if this is possible. Android provides the Device Admin Api, which has a method wipeData. This should exactly do what you want. And luckily the needed interfaces are not removed in Android 10 😄 (see https://developers.google.com/android/work/device-admin-deprecation).

I don't have any experience with this Device Admin Api yet, hope this isn't that complicated.
In my opinion this is one of the most important feature requests.
