Safe mode is a special feature mode that every Android device has. It is a hidden feature of Android devices that is also used as a diagnostic tool to understand and troubleshoot the common issues of the devices. It helps users understand whether they are experiencing any issue due to hardware or operating system-related errors or if a third-party application is interrupting their user experience.
Sometimes, mobile phones can have different issues because of the third-party applications installed. Some of these applications can come with glitches and bugs that can even make the device slow and worsen the user experience.
If you are wondering how you can access the safe mode on your OnePlus 8, go through this complete article, as here we have described how you can access that mode. This mode will help you recognize the issues and troubleshoot them without deleting your files or data. Though it doesn’t delete any files or data on the device, it disables them or, better say, doesn’t load the files. In this mode, you can access all the essential apps on your device, but no third-party application will run.
Note– If you feel like you need some of your essential files that are related to any third-party application while using your phone in safe mode, it is advised to create a backup of those files as your phone will not load any data or files related with the third party applications on your device while using the safe mode.
