Welcome! In front of me is a Redmi A1 and today I'll show you how we can boot
0:05
this phone into safe mode. So to get started you want to hold your power key. When you see your boot options
0:15
hold power off. This will then bring up a message right here reboot to safe mode
0:22
Do you want to reboot into safe mode? This will disable all third-party
0:25
applications you have installed. They will be restored when you reboot again. So let's click on OK. And while it's booting up into this mode I'm gonna
0:33
quickly explain what this mode is designed for or utilized for. So if you
0:42
have some kind of problem on your device where it's just misfunctioning and not
0:47
really working as it's supposed to and it's not because for instance your
0:51
screen is broken and the touchscreen doesn't work but like more of a software
0:55
level you could boot it up in here and try to resolve your problem. Maybe for
1:00
instance you created some application that is making your phone almost unusable. Boot it into safe mode and get rid of it. So there we go. Now the reason
1:09
this works like that as when you're in safe mode any kind of app
1:12
that you have installed just cannot start at all. Neither on its own like an
1:17
application that will automatically start nor will you be able to start it
1:22
And in here let's see if we have some visible. Okay there are a couple. So as you can see it shows me Netflix is grayed out so I
1:36
will not be able to open that application up and even if I try it just gives me this pop-up. Download it up or disable in safe mode. And there's a
1:44
couple of additional ones in here. Facebook or Lite. So basically a Facebook
1:49
LinkedIn. Now I have a couple here. Share me, calendar or not calendar, calculator
1:57
Kind of weird that calculator is disabled though. And they are only visible
2:05
on the home screen assuming they are on a home screen. And your apps are right
2:09
here in the app drawer. You won't see any kind of app that is disabled in this
2:13
mode. So if you want to uninstall some kind of app that isn't on your home screen you would need to navigate into the settings as an example and apps and
2:22
then see all whatever how many apps you have. And the disabled apps will be
2:27
visible right here as well. But once you're done with this mode and you want
2:31
to go back to normal one simply hold power key and this time around select
2:35
restart. The device will reboot and then once it boots back up it goes back to
2:40
normal mode. So with that being said if you found this very helpful don't forget
