How to use "Developer Options" on your Android Phone


How to Turn on Developer Options on Your Android Smartphone

Developer Options is a hidden menu on Android devices that provides advanced settings for developers and tech-savvy users.

Device settings location for the Build number option

Google PixelSettings > About phone > Build number
Samsung Galaxy S8 and laterSettings > About phone > Software information > Build number
LG G6 and laterSettings > About phone > Software info > Build number
HTC U11 and laterSettings > About > Software information > More > Build number or Settings > System > About phone > Software information > More > Build number
OnePlus 5T and laterSettings > About phone > Build number

Here's how to enable it:

  1. Go to Settings: Open the Settings app on your Android device.
  2. Find "About Phone" or "About Device": This section is typically located near the bottom of the Settings menu.
  3. Locate "Build Number": Scroll down to find the "Build Number" option.
  4. Tap "Build Number" Repeatedly: Tap the "Build Number" option seven times in quick succession.
  5. Confirm with Password or Pattern: If prompted, enter your device's password or pattern to confirm.

Once you've completed these steps, you should see a message indicating that you're now a developer. The Developer Options menu will now appear in your device's Settings.

Note: The exact location of the Developer Options menu may vary slightly depending on your Android version and device manufacturer.

Why Enable Developer Options?

Developer Options offers a wide range of settings and tools, including:

  • USB Debugging: Allows your device to communicate with a computer for development purposes.
  • GPU Profiling: Helps you analyze the performance of your device's graphics processing unit.
  • Force GPU Rendering: Forces apps to use the GPU for rendering, which can sometimes improve performance.
  • Stay awake while charging: Prevents your device from going to sleep while connected to a charger.
  • Simulate battery level: Allows you to test your device's behavior under different battery conditions.

Caution: While Developer Options can be useful for advanced users, it's important to exercise caution when modifying settings. Some options can affect your device's stability or performance if not used correctly.
