How to Enable Maintenance Mode on Samsung Devices

Dealing with a malfunctioned smartphone or tablet is never an easy thing, especially if you have to send it in for repairs, because, in such situations, you are always worried about your data being exposed. That is why Samsung introduced a very clever feature called Maintenace Mode, which locks your data, leaving only the default apps on the phone available to use. You'll have to enter your password or biometrics to ensure the phone returns to its default condition. If you want to learn how to enable Maintenance mode on your Samsung devices, this post is for you.

Now, the one thing that is very important before you go ahead and turn on Maintenance Mode on Samsung devices is that your phone or tablet has to be in working condition because the feature is accessed through the settings on the phone. If it is not functional, the best bet is to actually send it over to Samsung and be at peace, knowing that they will do a good job.

Enable Maintenance Mode on Samsung devices before sending them in for repairs

Now, the process to enable Maintenace Mode on Samsung devices is fairly simple, but the feature is hidden away behind settings that people don't really explore all that much and, therefore, can be a bit hard to navigate but don't worry. I am going to make it easy for you to know exactly where you have to go.

Step 1: Go to Settings on your Samsung Galaxy device.

Step 2: Once there, scroll down to Battery and device care.

 

Step 3: Once you are in the new menu, at the bottom, you'll find Maintenance mode. Tap that.

Step 4: In the new menu, you will have two options. The first one will suggest you back up your data in case the phone gets lost. The second one will let you turn on Maintenance mode. Simply make your decision and you will be ready to hand over your phone once the process is complete.

There you have it, folks. You have successfully gone ahead and enabled Maintenance Mode on your Samsung Galaxy device. You can now hand over your phone for repairs, and the technicians will take care of everything without you having to worry about your data being compromised. Something that has become a point of concern for a lot of people.
