Developer options disappear from settings

Question

After upgrading to Android Jelly Bean 4.2, I could not find developer options in the settings. What happened to this setting? Where can I find him now?

Answer 1

I found that it is hidden in the settings menu to improve the user interface. You can activate it at any time by pressing 7 times on Settings> About phone> Build number

from the official android documentation :

On devices running Android 4.2, developer options are hidden by default, which helps create a better experience for users. You can show the developer’s parameters at any time by pressing 7 times on Settings> About phone> Build number on any compatible Android device.

Answer 2

On most devices running Android 3.2 or later, you can find the option in the section

 Settings > Applications > Development. 

In Android 4.0 and later, it is in

 Settings > Developer options. 

Note. In Android 4.2 and later, developer options are hidden by default. To make it available, go to

 Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven (7) times. 

Return to the previous screen to find developer options.

Answer 3

From Android 4.2 onwards, developer options are hidden by default to improve the user interface.

You can get and enable developer options at any time by clicking 7 times on Settings> About phone> Build number on any compatible Android device.

The same thing has been tested and works great on Samsung, Sony experia and HTC devices.
