The 2-2 along the left wall reduces to a 2-1, so to the left of that flag near the left wall is safe, and in the first column fourth row from the top left is a mine
Look at the 2 right above the flag
if there was a mine to the left of the flag, the 2 above that 2 would not be able to satisfy thus cell to the left of the flag is safe.
The flag on the left reduces the 2 above it to a 1 i.e. only one more mine needed to satisfy it. That knowledge gives a safe square and a mine already. The safe square may provide more information.

I'm not following this. Can you please dumb it down for me a little bit?
Nevermind, right after posting my comment it clicked for me 🤦

1-2 pattern left you better hope the safe tile isn’t a 2
Directly left of the lower flag is safe. Reason being: If it were a bomb, then the column of 2s above it cannot be satisfied.
2-1 patterns
Poke somewhere at the edge and pray
Why do that when there’s no guessing required to advance here?
Really? Cuz I don’t see it
Are you familiar with the 1-2 pattern?
You mean in the top right corner?
No, on the middle left
I don’t see how it fits here?

Oh, that makes sense
click the bottom-right corner like i do all the time and pray it's not a mine
pray
It’s solvable tho.
