Safe Mode on Android helps to fix problems related to your device’s slow performance or crashing issues. Android safe mode is a feature that gives you access to important tools and changes your phone’s interface. Despite that, when you’re done, you need to turn off it off, or your apps won’t work. Therefore, right after diagnosing a device problem, turning off safe mode in Android is important. Learn more about Android’s safe mode and how to turn it off below. 

What is Android Safe Mode?

Android Safe Mode is a diagnostic feature that helps you figure out device crashing issues. It is specifically helpful if your phone starts misbehaving (e.g., running slow, restarting, freezing, or crashing). Safe mode lets you run your Android device with only factory-installed apps and services. Safe mode lets you run your Android device with only factory-installed apps and services. This way, you can determine and remove each app individually to find the problem app. 

How to Turn Off Safe Mode On Android?

Here’s a rundown of four ways to disable it:

1. Restart Your Device

Usually, just restarting your device will deactivate Safe Mode. Follow these steps to restart your device and exit this mode:

1. Press and hold the power button.
2. From the menu that appears, choose either restart or reboot. On some devices, you might only see a power-off option, which works too.
3. Tap the Restart button to restart your phone. Once your device restarted, you should be out of safe mode.

2. Use the Android Notification Panel 

The notification panel helps you quickly access alerts, notifications, and shortcuts. You can also disable Android safe mode using it. However, it is not necessary for all Android devices to support this functionality.

1. Pull down the notification panel.
2. Tap on Safe Mode to turn it off on your phone.

    3. A prompt will appear asking if you want to disable Safe Mode. Choose “Turn Off.”

And that’s it! Your phone will switch off and then restart, letting you use it in normal mode.

3. Use Power and Volume Keys

Before using this method, let me tell you that it is an obsolete process that only works with older devices like Samsung and HTC. Here’s how you can use volume and power keys to disable safe mode:

1. Press and hold the power button until you see the logo.
2. Release the power button, and long-press the Volume key until your device starts rebooting.
3. Release the Volume key as soon as you see Safe mode in the bottom-left corner.

Note: Safe Mode can help you identify issues to improve your device’s performance, but there are other ways to speed up your Android as well. Cleaning your phone by removing unnecessary or duplicate photos, updating the operating system, and clearing the cache can make a significant difference in its speed and smoothness.

4. Factory Reset Android 

This will erase your phone’s internal data and restore it to its original factory settings, so it should only be used as the last option. While a factory reset is a significant step, it will disable Safe Mode.

Note: Users, please bear in mind that before performing a factory reset, it is always recommended to back up your device’s internal data.

1. Open up the Settings app on your phone and go to the System section.

2. Tap on the Reset options and select the Erase all data (factory reset) option.

3. When prompted, tap the Erase all data button. Confirm the action using your password or PIN.

Troubleshooting Tips

Booting your Android device into Safe Mode can help you determine if a third-party app is causing random reboots. To enter Safe Mode, press and hold the power button until the power-off icon appears, then long-press it to access Safe Mode. Keep an eye on your device; if the reboots stop, a third-party app is likely to blame. To exit Safe Mode, simply restart your device as you normally would.

 Here are some more troubleshooting tips to enjoy a crash-free Android experience.

1. Regularly update all apps to ensure they are optimized and compatible.
2. Monitor your device’s behavior after each app update or removal to identify any issues.
3. Boot into Safe Mode to isolate problematic apps and ensure stability.

Conclusion 

If your Android device is malfunctioning, safe mode can help you resolve the problem. However, you cannot enable it for longer as it will affect the functionality of other third-party apps. Use the above guide to discover what to do in safe mode and how to disable Safe mode on Android. And keep your device running faster and smoother with our tips and recommendations.
