Here are the main ways to turn off Safe Mode on a Samsung phone:
- Restart the phone normally:
- Press and hold the power button until options appear.
- Tap Restart and wait for the phone to reboot. This usually exits Safe Mode.
- Use the notification panel:
- Swipe down from the top of the screen.
- Look for the "Safe Mode is on" notification.
- Tap this notification and then tap Turn Off. The phone will restart and Safe Mode will be disabled.
- Use the Assistive Menu (if power button is broken):
- Go to Settings > Accessibility > Interaction and Dexterity.
- Turn on Assistive Menu.
- Tap the Assistive Menu icon on the screen, navigate to Power Off Menu, and select Restart.
- The phone will restart and exit Safe Mode.
- If the above do not work and the phone keeps booting into Safe Mode, there may be a stuck or faulty volume down button, which might require repair.
Additional notes:
- Make sure your Side key settings are set to Power Off Menu in Settings > Advanced features > Side key > Press and hold > Power off menu.
- Safe Mode disables third-party apps to help diagnose issues.
- Pressing and holding the power off option for a while sometimes activates Safe Mode, so avoid that if not needed.
These methods apply to various Samsung Galaxy models (S20, S21, S22, S23, Note series, A series) and other Samsung phones.
