Generally, the USB debugging option allows you to connect your android
phones to the computer and use the android SDK along with it.
Enabling and disabling the USB Debugging option is available in every android phones. But some devices, it will be disabled due to some safety measures. To be very frank, Google developed the USB debugging option only for the developers. They can use this option if they want to test their newly created android app on their phone. So, it is generally disabled. The disabling option prevent the non-developers from the risk of enabling it accidentally. That’s why in the latest Android versions, you can find this option under the “Developer Options“.

3.From there go to “Development“.

1.In this version, Google has hidden the whole “Developer options” section for the users who are not much familiar to use developing tools.
2.So, to enable it go to “Settings” option.
3.From Settings go to “About” option.
4.From there go the “Build number“. You can find this at the end of the scroll.
5.Just tap that Build Number option repeatedly for 7 times. On the third tap, you will be presented with a message saying you have only 4 more taps to be a developer.
