Developer Options and USB Debugging is one of the most discussed terms in an Android Smartphone. These options give the developers access to flash custom ROMs, troubleshoot their devices, remove bloatware, change various other settings and functions, etc. Today, I’ll be showing you how to enable both the settings on any Android smartphone with some simple steps, which, of course, does not void your device’s warranty and all.
