What is Safe Mode on Android and how do I use it?

Safe Mode is a diagnostic startup where Android runs with only its built-in system apps. All apps you downloaded are temporarily disabled. This lets you test if a third-party app is causing problems. Your apps aren't deleted — they're just turned off temporarily.

Safe Mode is like a clean slate for your phone. When you boot into Safe Mode, Android starts with only its core system apps and temporarily disables everything you downloaded. If your phone works fine in Safe Mode but has problems normally, you know one of your downloaded apps is causing the issue.
