How to unlock developer options on an Android Phone

Difficulty

Very easy

Steps

2

Time Required

20 seconds - 1 minute

Introduction

The Settings app on Android includes a screen called developer options that lets you configure system behaviors that help you profile and debug your app performance. For example, you can enable debugging over USB, capture a bug report, enable visual feedback for taps, flash window surfaces when they update, use the GPU for 2D graphics rendering, and more.

    • First, we need to find the Build Number.

    • Usually you can find it under About Phone > Build Number or System > About Phone > Build Number, but since it varies from device to device using the search function is usually the easiest way.

    • Now you just need to tap the Build number repeatedly, until you get a confirmation message saying "You are now a developer!". I already enabled developer options on my device, so I don´t need to do it again.

    • You might be prompted to enter your lock screen password, if you have one set up.

Conclusion

You are now a developer!
