What is Safe Mode?

Safe Mode is an Android OS feature to help solve problems related to configuration or third-party app incompatibilities.

How does Safe Mode help?

Safe Mode is handy when an Android smartphone runs slow, freezing, or outright crashes. It helps to identify if a third-party app is the source of the problem.

Why disable Safe Mode?

From an organization's POV, where employees are handed corporate-owned devices, Safe Mode is counterproductive. Employees could use it to -

Uninstall provisioned apps

Tamper device settings

Bypass restrictions

How to disable Safe Mode?

Organizations prefer to use mobile device management (MDM) solutions to prevent users from booting devices in Safe Mode. Few Samsung devices let users turn off Safe Mode from the notification panel.
