    I don’t understand. So if I only lock my phone (turn the screen off) without rebooting it, it is not fully encrypted (considering that the device storage encryption is enabled)?

      Something like that. I’m not familiar with the exact details, but there is an additional layer of encryption that applies before the first unlock after a reboot.

      Parts of the OS have to be unencrypted for it to function properly.
