How to Take Phone Off Safe Mode
Safe mode is a diagnostic mode that allows you to determine if a third-party app is causing issues with your phone. When your phone is in safe mode, it only runs the pre-installed apps, and all third-party apps are disabled. If you find yourself in this situation and want to know how to take your phone off safe mode, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you out.
Step 1: Turn Off Your Phone
The first step to take your phone off safe mode is to turn off your device. Press and hold the power button until the shutdown options appear, then select “Power off” or “Slide to power off” depending on your device.
Step 2: Turn On Your Phone in Safe Mode
After your phone is turned off, turn it back on while holding down the power button. You may need to press and hold the power button for a few seconds. When the manufacturer’s logo appears, release the power button and immediately press and hold the volume down button. Continue holding the volume down button until your phone boots up into safe mode. You’ll know you’re in safe mode because the word “Safe Mode” will appear in the lower-left corner of the screen.
Step 3: Remove the Third-Party App
Now that your phone is in safe mode, you can try to identify the app causing the issue. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Go to the “Settings” app on your phone.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Apps” or “Application Manager.”
3. Look for the app that you suspect is causing the problem and tap on it.
4. Select “Uninstall” or “Force Stop” to remove or stop the app.
Step 4: Restart Your Phone
After you have removed the problematic app, restart your phone by pressing and holding the power button until the shutdown options appear, then select “Power off” or “Slide to power off.” Once your phone is turned off, turn it back on normally.
Step 5: Check if Safe Mode is Disabled
After your phone has restarted, check if the safe mode is disabled. If the word “Safe Mode” no longer appears in the lower-left corner of the screen, you have successfully taken your phone off safe mode.
If you have followed these steps and the issue persists, it may be a hardware problem or a more complex software issue. In that case, you may need to contact the manufacturer’s support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance.
