Each Android phone comes equipped with the ability to enable developer options and USB debugging. The developer options let you test features and access parts of phones that are usually locked away. As the name implies, these features are handy for developers building Android apps, but not as important for an average user.
On the other hand, USB debugging allows android devices to receive commands, files, and the like from the PC. It allows an Android device to communicate with a computer. This gives you absolute control of your smartphone. Follow the steps below to enable developer options and USB debugging on your Samsung Galaxy S23.
