To turn off Safe Mode on an Android device, the most common and easiest method is to restart the phone. You can do this by pressing and holding the Power button until the power menu appears, then tap the Restart option. If you do not see a Restart button, you can hold down the Power button for about 30 seconds until the device restarts. Upon reboot, the device should exit Safe Mode and return to normal operation.
Alternatively, some devices allow turning off Safe Mode via the notification panel. Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notification panel, and if Safe Mode is active, you may see a notification to tap and turn off Safe Mode directly.
If the above does not work because of a stuck volume or power button, you can try restarting the device through software means such as enabling the Assistive Menu via Accessibility settings and using its power options to restart.
For Samsung devices, restarting by pressing Power and selecting Restart or holding Volume Down and Power (Side key) simultaneously for 7 seconds is a recommended method to exit Safe Mode.
In summary, the key steps to turn off Safe Mode on Android are:
- Press and hold the Power button, then tap Restart.
- If no Restart option, hold Power to force reboot.
- Use notification panel if supported.
- Use accessibility assistive menu or specific button combos on some devices.
After reboot, confirm Safe Mode is off by checking that the "Safe Mode" label is no longer visible at the bottom of the screen.
