Perhaps you want to enable USB debugging, unlock your boot loader so you can root your Android phone, or just tweak your animations to give your phone a zippier feel. Whatever your reason for wanting to access the hidden options that reside in every Android device, you’ll first have to unlock them. Follow the simple guide below to learn how to get developer options on Android.
By default, the developer options in Android devices are hidden. This is because they’re really designed for developers who want to test them and make changes that may impact your phone’s performance. In other words, it’s not a good idea to go tinkering with the developer options, unless you have a specific purpose in mind.
You can unlock the Developer options on any Android smartphone or tablet by locating the Build number in your Settings menu and tapping it multiple times. However, the exact location of the aforementioned build number may differ depending on your phone’s manufacturer.

If using stock Android, go to Settings ] About phone ] Build number. On a INFINIX device, go to Settings ] About device ]
build number.Tap Build number seven times. After the first few taps, you should see the steps counting down until you unlock the developer options. Once activated, you will see a message that reads, “You are now a developer!”

Go back to Settings, where you’ll find a Developer options entry in the menu
[br]
Go to *Settings ] Apps ] Settings ] *Storage _and_ tap *Clear data*. In earlier versions of Android, it will just be* Settings ] Apps ] Settings* and *Clear data*.
That’s it! The *Developer options* entry will be removed from your *Settings menu,* but you can always get it back by following the steps outlined above.
The developer options in Android allow you to carry out a host of actions, but they’re really designed for developers to debug their apps and tweak different system behaviors. Because of this, we advise against tweaking any settings without first understanding what they do.
