When activated, it ensures that the personal data on your Galaxy smartphone remains secure even when the repair technician is working on it. The Samsung Repair Mode allows users to selectively choose which data they wish to disclose when their phone is in for repair.
Once the Repair Mode is activated, which can be found in Settings > Battery and Device Care menu, the smartphone gets rebooted. After that, nobody will be able to access your personal data, including photos, messages, accounts, etc., and only default apps will be accessible. To come out of the Repair Mode, the user needs to exit the mode by rebooting the device and authenticating through fingerprint or pattern recognition.
According to the newsroom post, Samsung Repair Mode will arrive via an update to the Galaxy S21 series phones, and later will be expanded to more models in the future. Other regions should also receive the feature soon.
