This article explains how to disable "Safe Mode" on an Android device. This operating mode is automatically activated by the Android operating system when the latter encounters a serious software or hardware error or when a third-party application is causing a malfunction. Normally you can disable "Safe Mode" by simply restarting the device or uninstalling the application that is causing the problem.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Restart the Device
Step 1. Make sure your Android device is in "Safe Mode"
If "Safe Mode" is visible in the lower left corner of the screen, it means that the device is currently in this operating state.
If the writing in question is not present, it means that the device is operating normally. However, try restarting it if you are experiencing abnormal slowness in carrying out normal functions or if you are unable to perform certain actions
Step 2. Try using the notification panel
In some cases, "Safe Mode" can be disabled directly from the Android notification bar by following these instructions:
- Log in to your Android device by unlocking its screen.

Tap the "Safe Mode On" notification, if there is one.

If your device is still in "Safe Mode", try turning it off completely, remove the battery, wait a few minutes, then restart it
Method 2 of 2: Uninstall a Corrupted App
Step 1. Make sure you know which application is causing the problem
In most cases, the cause of the problem is a malfunctioning or malicious app. If the device has always worked correctly before installing a particular application, it is very likely that the cause of the problem is that.

For this reason it is advisable to start by uninstalling all the apps that run when the device starts (for example the widgets on the Home screen).
