To turn off Safe Mode on an Android device, you can follow these common methods:
- Restart your device : The simplest way is to press and hold the Power button, then select "Restart" from the power menu. This usually boots the phone back into normal mode
- Use hardware buttons : On some devices like Samsung phones, if a normal restart doesn't work, press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously for about 7 seconds to force a restart and exit Safe Mode
- Notification panel option : Some Android devices show a persistent notification when in Safe Mode. You can swipe down the notification panel and tap the notification to turn off Safe Mode
- Check for stuck buttons : If your device keeps booting into Safe Mode, it could be due to a stuck Volume Down button or other hardware issues. Remove any phone case and ensure buttons are not stuck or malfunctioning
- Uninstall problematic apps : If Safe Mode was triggered due to a faulty app, uninstall recently installed or suspicious apps while in Safe Mode, then restart your device normally
- Factory reset : As a last resort, if Safe Mode cannot be turned off by other means, performing a factory reset will restore the device to default settings and exit Safe Mode. Note this deletes all personal data
In summary, the primary step is to restart your phone normally, which resolves Safe Mode in most cases. If that fails, try the hardware button restart or check for stuck buttons. If Safe Mode persists, consider uninstalling apps or, as a last option, a factory reset
