Ask Tii - What is "It Safe Mode"

Hi Rob,

 

I got a strange message on my iPhone 4 today.  At the top in the center is a message "It Safe Mode".  WTF is that?

Hi Darren,

 

This is a message you would see if you are jailbroken.  If you actually tap on the message you will get a pop over that says that the Springboard has just crashed and the "MobileSubstrate did not cause this problem".  Which seems a little defensive on the part of the pop over.  

 

What you need to do is reboot your iPhone and the issue should go away.  If it does not - then you need to uninstall any Cydia apps you recently installed.  As one of your recent installed Cydia apps is likely causing the issue from clearing up after a reboot.

 

Regards,
