Most Android smartphones and tablets already have dozens (or even hundreds) of settings for changing everything from notifications to system colours. There are even more settings hidden away in the Developer options, which are mostly intended to help with creating Android applications, but some of them can come in handy for other situations too.
Even though some of the features accessible through the Developer options can be helpful, it’s not always clear which option does what. Although none of the features in the Developer options will break your phone or tablet, enabling some of them can cause unintended problems. That’s why we’re going over everything you can do with Developer options in this roundup, so you can know exactly which setting does what.
For example, if you wanted to sideload apps using ADB, you'd enable that within the Developer Options. Or if you want to graphically show taps on the screen (eg. for video recordings) this is where you'd enable that too.
