  • If your device is crashing and you are getting a few or lot of error messages and you can’t figure it out whether it’s a problem with your system or a problem with any third party app that you recently installed. To solve this, simply uninstall the app via Apps section in the Android settings.
  • If you’ve got a virus or malware or a malicious app installed and you are not able to uninstall it because it’s always running in the background, Then you can easily uninstall those kind of apps using the Safe-mode.
  • Most useful feature of safe mode is that it saves you from the “Factory Resetting” your device. Most peoiple when they have a problem with their android device and they can’t fix it, 99% of the people simply Factory Reset their Android device which wipes all the apps and data from your Android device. So instead of factory reset you can boot into the safe mode to find out the specific issue and fix it either by uninstalling or fixing app permissions. This saves your apps and protects your data.
  • Since no third party apps runs in safe mode, you can experience that your device runs much much faster in safe-mode as lot of RAM and CPU usage available. This will help you figure out how much your device is slowed down over the time due to thord party apps and widgets.
