Hi, Certain downloaded apps can make your phone or tablet freeze, crash, or lag. 

Using Safe mode disables all downloaded apps and loads only the original software that came with your phone or tablet, allowing you to determine if the issue is caused by an app or with the phone or tablet. If the issues do not appear while in Safe mode, the problem is caused by a downloaded app, and it should be uninstalled.

Here are the steps for safe mode.

1. After turning off the device, turn it on.

2. Once the Samsung logo has started, press and hold the volume down button.

3. When the home screen appears, the safe mode is displayed in the lower-left corner of the screen.

  • If the issue is gone in Safe mode: One of your recently downloaded apps was likely the cause of the problem. 

    One by one, uninstall any apps you downloaded just before your phone or tablet began having the issue.

    After uninstalling each app, restart the phone or tablet and check if it is functioning normally.

  • If the issue still exists: Downloaded apps may not be the cause of the problem. You may need to reset the phone to the factory setting.

How to deactivate safe mode.

1. Press and hold the power.

Get back to us with the results.
