If your Android Phone or Tablet is stuck in Safe Mode, you need to know the steps to Disable Safe Mode on your Android Device, so that you can use your device.
The Safe Mode feature in Android Operating System is designed to protect the device from further damage, due to incompatible Apps, corrupted system files, outdated firmware and other reasons.
Disable Safe Mode on Android Phone or Tablet
If your Android Phone or Tablet has automatically booted itself in Safe Mode, restart your device and see if it comes out of Safe Mode.
If your device goes back to Safe Mode again, you need to make efforts to identify the offending or incompatible App that is causing problems on your device.
If the problem is due to corrupted system files, you will have to Factory Reset and Restore your Android Phone or Table using a backup (If available) or Restore as a New Device.
With this understanding, let us go ahead and take a look at different methods to Disable Safe Mode on Android Phone or Tablet.
1. Disable Safe Mode by Rebooting
The easiest way to Disable Safe Mode on Android Phone or Tablet is to simply reboot your device and it should come out of Safe Mode.
1. Press and Hold the Power button on your Android Phone, until you see Power OFF/Restart options on the screen of your Android Phone.
2. Tap on the Power Off option and wait for your device to completely Turn OFF.
3. Wait for 2 more minutes and Restart your device by pressing the Power button.
Once the device is turned on, you should be out of Safe Mode.
2. Disable Safe Mode by Using Power and Volume Keys
