Can a phone factory reset itself?

[Android Central Question]

I have a LG 6 and this morning when i woke up it was in the middle of resetting itself. How is this possible? it possible at all this could happen on its own or is it possible someone has my info and did this?

Welcome to Android Central! Unfortunately, this has been known to happen, probably due to some catastrophic firmware glitch. I highly doubt that someone hacked you. Hopefully, you were keeping your important data backed up or synced somewhere on a regular basis.
