This tutorial will teach you how to turn off safe mode on Samsung Galaxy S6 devices. Safe Mode temporarily starts your Galaxy S6 with its factory default software and this is quite useful when you aren’t sure which of your apps may be interfering with your device’s functions. Perhaps you have modified a setting and need to fix an issue caused by this modification. Safe Mode allows you to boot the device and remove or fix the issue with ease.
There are a number of known methods for turning off Safe Mode on the Samsung Galaxy S6. More than likely all you really need to do is restart your device. However, I will tell you about the various ways to turn off safe mode. Read the steps below to disable the feature.
Disable Galaxy S6 Safe Mode
- The first thing you can try is holding (long pressing) the power button and selecting restart from the pop-up menu.
- Wait for the S6 to restart and it should boot normally (i.e. Safe mode should now be disabled).
If this method did not work for you or is not viable then you can opt to turn the Galaxy S6 completely off and then proceed to wait for about 10 seconds. Turn the S6 back on. When it boots, it should boot normally.
One More Method
Here’s another tip to try if you are unable to get out of “safe” mode on your Galaxy S6:.
- Go into settings, go into accessibility.
- Scroll down until you find the single tap command, and make sure that is switched over to the right in the “on” position.
- Once you do that, you will find that when you do the restart instructions to get out of safe mode, that once the phone restarts you are out of safe mode.
In addition, any problems you may have been having with your volume switch up or down will be resolved also. I would suggest you try this before you go as far as warming the seal and taking the phone apart.
Tip
If you continuously start in Safe Mode and cannot get out of it, a malfunctioning app may be causing the problem. You may have to uninstall apps until you track down the one that is causing the problem.
My Galaxy S6 still starts in Safe Mode and I don’t want it to. Why is this happening?
It is possible that your “Volume Down” button is stuck. Ensure your screen is properly cleaned. If you recently installed apps onto your phone, try uninstalling them while in Safe Mode as some apps can cause the phone to get stuck in this state.

Galaxy S6 / Edge: How to Enter & Exit SafeMode “Safe Mode”
ILuvTrading: In this video, I show you how to get in and get out of safe mode on your Samsung Galaxy S6 / Edge. Safe Mode loads your phone in a diagnostic state (only preloaded apps and basic drivers are loaded, NO third party apps are loaded!) so you can determine if a third-party app is causing your device to freeze, lag, or malfunction other apps and functions.
In other words, if your phone was lagging, freezing or another app was malfunctioning or causing errors and then you have no issues when in safe mode then you know its one or more of the third party app that you downloaded that is causing this. So you need to uninstall and/or re-download that particular third party app. If you still have issues turning on or off safe mode please comment below thanks.

I have a s6 edge plus and it wont turn safe mode off
I have a s6 edge plus and it wont turn safe mode off
I woke up to find “Safe Mode” displayed on lower left screen, and most app icons gone (I understand why).
I have ‘restarted’ 5x, and powered-off 3x, and ‘Safe Mode’ won’t go away.
I read it should power down, then depress the ‘Volume Down’ button whilst powering-up the phone.
That also hasn’t helped.
What is the real solution?

Check your volume down button. If it is stuck down, it will continue to restart in safe mode. Take the case off first, then I used some rubbing alcohol on a qtip to clean. Problem solved.
Good tips Gabe! I’m sure it’ll help someone else get their Galaxy S6 out of safe mode!
I came by the answer to my problem quite by accident….I had just gotten a new screen saver and had put it on. I then put my phone back into its magnetic case and suddenly my phone shut down and when it came back on, it was in safe mode. It tried all of the above solutions but to no avail. I then discovered that I had put my case on upside down. Once I fixed that, I rebooted, and it worked without issues. I have no idea why that made a difference…I’m sure that it had something to do with the magnet….Just food for thought in case this turns on a light bulb for any of you having issues. :)
