How to Turn On Safe Mode on Android Phone (Turn Off by Restarting)
1Safe Mode on an Android phone disables third-party apps, helping you troubleshoot issues like a frozen screen or problematic apps. Below are the steps to turn on Safe Mode and how to turn it off by restarting.
How to Turn On Safe Mode
The process varies slightly by device, but here are the general steps:
Power Off the Device:
Press and hold the Power button until the power menu appears.
If the phone is frozen, try a soft reset first: Hold Power (or Power + Volume Down) for 10-20 seconds until it restarts. If it won’t restart, proceed with the steps below.
Enter Safe Mode:
Method 1: From Power Menu (works on most Android devices):
Press and hold the Power button until the power menu appears.
Long-press the Power off option until a “Safe Mode” prompt appears.
Tap OK or Safe Mode to reboot into Safe Mode.
Method 2: During Restart (if Method 1 doesn’t work):
Turn off the phone (if possible) or perform a soft reset.
Turn it back on by pressing the Power button.
As soon as the phone logo appears, press and hold Volume Down (or Volume Up on some devices) until the phone boots. You should see “Safe Mode” in the bottom corner of the screen.
Device-Specific Variations:
Samsung: Power off, then press Power + Volume Down during boot until Safe Mode appears.
Google Pixel: Press Power, then hold Volume Down when the logo appears.
Xiaomi/OnePlus: Press Power + Volume Down or Volume Up during boot (check model-specific guides).
Verify Safe Mode:
The phone will boot with “Safe Mode” displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Only pre-installed system apps will work; third-party apps will be grayed out or disabled.
