How To Turn Off Safe Mode on Tumblr

In this era of digitization, users of Instagram, Facebook is on the boom. It has become a great deal that ig likes and followers matter to the world for the users. Such platforms enjoy their popularity by bridging the gap between the content creators and the consumers. Every second, thousands of contents get uploaded and viewed across the world.

One of all the social platforms, Tumblr, swept the world with its number of users. This microblogging site came way back. But today stands nowhere in lines of popularity. So, what went wrong?

The regular users of Tumblr are well aware of the sensitive post warning they come across. No one likes interruption while scrolling through their feed. This recent introduction of safe mode has surely irked its users. Previously known for its easily accessible 18+ rated or ‘Not Suitable for Work’(NSFW) content, its image has changed drastically. Advertisers’ serious objections and Play store ban led Tumblr to cut out on such content.

Firstly, a safe mode was introduced to filter off all the content unsuitable for consumption for kids and young adults. It was, as default, turned on. This mode turned out successful in filtering almost all content falling in the NSFW category. Moreover, to the agony of all who were regular consumers of NSFW content, it became a non-disabling feature on nearly all available platforms.

So, now what should one do to bypass the new hurdle of safe mode?
