It's important you learn how to enable repair mode on your Google Pixel device. If you're sending your prized Pixel 8 Pro phone away to be repaired, you probably don't want to allow other people to have access to everything that's on your phone.

Previously, it was recommended that you restore your phone to factory settings before sending it away to the repair shop. But that's a time-consuming undertaking and means you'll have to reconfigure preferences, reinstall apps again and restore data from backups after the repair is completed.
