I absolutely encrypt my phones and have since it was an option (for those of use buying Google android devices exclusively they've been encrypted by default since the Nexus 6p/5x). Honestly I'm surprised an Android 7 device exists WITHOUT mandatory encryption. Encryption is your best defense against identity theft should your phone fall into the wrong hands.
How does encryption affect access to and functionality of your phone? I have my phone password protected but not encrypted. Thank you.
I don't notice any changes to day to day usage. The biggest difference is that without your password/PIN or biometric for decryption your data is basically completely inaccessible. My recommendation is to encrypt and ensure your important data is backed up to a cloud service (like my photos all go to Google Photos). Its the reason the FBI wasn't able to access data on the shooter's iPhone.
