How to boot Moto G7 into Safe mode

Smartphone owners should have a trick or two up their sleeves, especially when the phone starts acting strangely. One such trick is Safe mode. If you are the owner of a Moto G7 and your phone is not working properly, for instance, it is freezing or crashing, you can boot it into Safe mode to see how it behaves there.

In this article, we will explain what Safe mode is, and why it is so handy. We will also show you how to boot Moto G7 into Safe mode.

What is Safe mode?

Safe mode is a special mode that will start your phone without any third-party apps. All third-party apps are disabled when in Safe mode.

Sometimes, the cause of the issue on a smartphone is a third-party app. A single app can create many problems, like crashing other apps, the entire phone freezing and more. This is because some apps are poorly coded. So when trying to fix something, you can boot the phone in Safe mode and see how the phone behaves. If it works fine in safe mode, it means that one of the apps is responsible for the problem.
