Information
Disable Developer Options.
Rationale:
Enabling Developer Options allows a user to drastically alter certain very advanced
settings on the device. This can severely affect the way device functions and exposes
greater and developmental features to the user. This also exposes the device to respond to
features such as USB debugging (when enabled) and other such features that could be
exploited to get malicious access to the device sub-system. Hence, the Developer Options
should be disabled.

Follow the below steps to disable Developer Options:
1. Tap Settings Gear Icon.
2. Tap System.
3. Tap Developer options.
4. Toggle it to Off position.
Impact:
None
Default Value:
