> Kim said that Android currently declares a ten-minute idle time at 2am that is used to defragment the filesystem. It could perhaps also be used for garbage collection.

What about night owls like me, that are regularly using the phone at that time? If the phone isn't idle then, does it just wait for the next idle time? Searched ddg but nobody seems to have heard of Android doing defragmenting every 02:00...

Yes, and what about people like me, who turn off their phone when going to bed?
searching for defrag in phone settings doesn't give me results...
