To activate Safe Mode on a AT&T device, follow these steps:
- Power Off the Device: Make sure your AT&T device is powered off.
- Power On the Device: Press and hold the Power button to turn on your device.
- Wait for Logo and Release Button: When the AT&T logo appears on the screen, press and hold the Volume Down button. Keep holding the Volume Down button until the device finishes booting.
- Enter Safe Mode: Once the device finishes booting, you should see “Safe Mode” in the bottom left corner of the screen. This indicates that you have successfully entered Safe Mode.
In Safe Mode, your AT&T device will only run essential system apps and no third-party apps will be active. This can help you troubleshoot if you suspect that a third-party app is causing issues with your device.
To exit Safe Mode, simply restart your device as you normally would. After the restart, your device will boot back into the regular mode with all apps available.
If you encounter any difficulties or differences, it’s best to refer to the official AT&T website or user manual for the most accurate and up-to-date instructions.
