Android phones stuck in Safe Mode can be restored to normal via a restart or notification menu, as detailed by Engadget.

To turn off Safe Mode, the simplest method is to restart the phone. Users can access the power options screen by holding the power button, or the power and volume down buttons depending on the model, then select “Restart.” When the device boots up again, Safe Mode should be disabled.

Alternatively, users can swipe down from the left side of the screen to open the Notification Menu. There, a notification indicates that the phone is in Safe Mode. Tapping this notification provides an option to turn Safe Mode off directly. This method offers a faster route without a full restart.

Even after exiting Safe Mode, Airplane Mode may remain active, as indicated by an airplane icon on the status bar. To turn it off, swipe down from the right portion of the screen to access the Quick Settings menu, then tap the airplane icon.

The guide also notes that Google Play Protect, another Android security feature, can occasionally cause similar limitations, but that issue is also easily fixed.
