Step 1: Restart Your Phone
The first and easiest step to turn off safe mode on a Android device is to simply restart your phone. This may seem like an obvious solution, but it can often resolve the issue. Once your phone restarts, check if safe mode is disabled. If not, try the next step.
Step 2: Check the Notification Panel
When your phone is in safe mode, you will see a “Safe mode” message in the bottom left corner of the screen. To turn off safe mode, drag down the notification panel from the top of the screen and tap on the “Safe mode enabled” message. This should take you to the safe mode settings.
Step 3: Turn Off Safe Mode in Settings
If you can’t access the safe mode settings from the notification panel, you can turn off safe mode through your phone’s settings. Go to “Settings” and then “System”. Look for “Safe mode” and tap on it. You should see an option to turn off safe mode. Tap on it and your phone will restart without safe mode.
Step 4: Remove the Battery
This step is only applicable for phones with removable batteries. If you can’t turn off safe mode using the above steps, turn off your phone and remove the battery. Wait for a few seconds and then reinsert the battery. Turn on your phone and check if safe mode is disabled.
Step 5: Check for Malfunctioning Hardware
If none of the above steps work, your phone’s hardware may be malfunctioning. Check if any buttons are stuck or damaged. You may also want to take your phone to a professional for further inspection.
