Safe mode, also called recovery mode, is the final step in the process of recovering your phone from malfunctions, and is used to resolve crashes, perform backups or restore factory settings. As the name suggests, this mode is a way to recover iOS devices from situations where the devices have probable software damage. It updates the firmware, allowing the device to be restored.
Putting your phone in this mode can recover the device from some situations, but not all. For example, if the device is damaged by water, in non-waterproof versions, and some component is damaged, recovery mode may not work properly. This happens because, in order to work, the mode requires several system components. Therefore, if any of them is not working correctly, the recovery process cannot occur.
Apple does not allow you to use your device while it is in recovery mode. To perform restore operations, you must connect your phone to your computer and use iTunes to perform the procedure. In some situations, your phone may also freeze while it is in safe mode.
