Samsung Galaxy A12 - Power Up in Safe Mode

Here's how to reboot in Safe Mode if an app is making your Galaxy A12 freeze, reset or run slowly.
Safe Mode puts your phone in a diagnostic state (returned to default settings) so you can determine if a third-party app is causing your device to freeze, reset or run slowly.
An alternate method is available if the device can be powered on and is responsive.
  1. With the device powered off, press and hold the
    Power / Side button
     until the device vibrates and the 'Samsung Galaxy' screen appears then release.
    Power button
  2. With Samsung Galaxy still on screen, press and hold the
    Volume down button
    .
    Volume down button
  3. Continue to hold the
    Volume down button
     until 'Safe mode' appears in the lower-left of the unlock or Home screen then release.
    This may take up to 45 seconds.
    The below image is an example.

  4. With Safe Mode enabled, ensure Airplane Mode is turned off then test device and app functionality.
