Summary

  • You can turn off safe mode on Android by bringing up the Power menu and tapping on Restart.
  • Force restarting also gets you out of safe mode, which you can do by long-pressing on the Power button until the Android logo appears.
  • In phones from Samsung and other brands, safe mode can be disabled by tapping on the Safe mode notification and rebooting when prompted.

One of the best ways to diagnose your Android phone when it's acting up is by booting into Safe Mode. It's a feature that helps you find the problem, and it does so by disabling all third-party apps on Android. Once you've rectified the problem, you need to return to turn off Safe mode to make your phone usable again, so here's how to turn off Safe Mode on Android.

Turn off Safe Mode on most Android phones

The process of turning off Safe mode on Android is pretty similar across Android smartphones, regardless of their make. Here's how to do it:

  1. Press the Power + Volume up (Volume up on Samsung) buttons to bring up the power menu.
  2. Tap on the Restart option to restart your Android phone.
  3. Your phone should reboot, and back to its regular mode again.

All your third-party apps will now be back to a functional state. There's another way to turn off Safe mode on Samsung devices, which is to swipe down from the top and tap on the Safe mode notification, followed by the Turn off option.

And those are the two ways to turn off Safe Mode on Android. If your phone is still acting up, you can check the device's warranty and get it fixed for free if it's still covered. If you own a Samsung smartphone, you can easily check the warranty of your Samsung phone.
