Android has long had basic juice jacking protections of a sort, Since Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), the OS has prompted users to choose between “Charge only” and “Transfer files” when connecting via USB. This helps prevent automatic data access.
It is a little dependant on manufacturer as Samsung has addition controls in this area and I did read an article that notes with Android 16 there is a new setting “blocks new USB device connections while your phone is locked, which could be handy if your phone is ever stolen.
