How to Turn Off Safe Mode in Tumblr

Tumblr’s Safe Mode protects users from seeing unexpected NSFW (not safe for work) and inappropriate content. 18+ – rated content was all over Tumblr prior to this.

However, Safe Mode lets users filter out such content, and this brought about a new problem – how to turn Tumblr safe mode off.

If you come across a blocked post on Tumblr, you’ll see a green text indicating that Safe mode is on. You can only access the content when you tap the View Post button.

Bear in mind that Safe Mode in Tumblr is not same as the Safe Mode in Windows, as they serve different functions. In this guide, I’ll teach you how to disable Tumblr’s Safe Mode on various platforms.
