To take off Safe Mode on an Android device, the easiest and most common method is to simply restart your phone or tablet. Press and hold the Power button, then tap the Restart option. On some devices like OnePlus or newer Google Pixel phones, you may need to press and hold the Power and Volume Up buttons together, then select Restart. If the Restart option is not available, press and hold the Power button for about 30 seconds to force a restart. Another way on some devices (such as Samsung) is to swipe down the notification panel, find the Safe Mode notification, and tap it to turn off Safe Mode. If the device keeps booting into Safe Mode after restarting, it may indicate a stuck or faulty button (like the Volume Down key), which might require repair. As a last resort, you can perform a factory reset, but this wipes all data on the device, so it should only be done if absolutely necessary. In summary, the main steps are:
- Press and hold Power, then tap Restart.
- Or press Power + Volume Up, then tap Restart.
- Or use the Safe Mode notification in the notification panel if available.
- If Safe Mode persists, check hardware buttons or consider a factory reset.
These steps apply to most Android devices including Samsung, Google Pixel, and OnePlus phones.
