Ever heard of SAFE MODE??? Most of us might be familiar with the windows safe mode in which your computer starts in a limited state.Only the basic files and drivers necessary to run Windows are started

Android has a safe mode option too. Which allows your android smartphone to boot up without any third party apps. This option is quite useful if your android device is experiencing problems like random restarting , battery draining etc.

when you have too many apps installed and you cannot figure out which app is responsible for the abnormal activity of your android device. Then boot into safe mode and see if the problem persists. This is a trail and hit method meaning if your phone runs without an issue when you’re in safe mode, it’s a pretty good bet that the problem isn’t system related, and instead a third party app you downloaded may have been causing the issue
