Why I need to enable USB Debugging Mode?

USB Debugging grants you a level of access to your device. This level of access is important when you need system-level clearance, such as when coding a new app. It also gives you much more freedom of control over your device. For example, with Android SDK, you gain direct access to your phone through your computer and that allows you to do things or run terminal commands with ADB. These terminal commands can help you restore a bricked phone. You are also able to use some third-party tools to better manage your phone (for example, Wondershare TunesGo). So this mode is a useful tool for any adventurous Android owner.

Developer options can be used by application developers when testing applications. Sometimes, you may also need to activate USB Debugging.

We'll share some simple steps that enable Developer options and USB Debugging Mode on Moto G.
