Sending your phone for repair can raise inhibitions and rightly so, data thefts are common these days. Samsung wants us to take a sigh of relief and hence, has introduced the Repair mode, which will restrict access to our data while the phone takes a trip to the repair shop.
Samsung’s Repair Mode, when enabled, will block access to important data like your photos, messages, and more when the phone goes for a repair. Service providers will only be able to access the default installed apps to perform the necessary repairs.
Before sending the phone for a repair, you can turn on the mode in the ‘Battery and Device Care’ option under the Settings to hide data from others. The phone will reboot to place the mode in action. Once the phone is repaired, you can disable the Repair mode by simply rebooting the phone and verifying via the fingerprint sensor or the set pattern.
