Part 1: What Is USB Debugging Mode and Why You Need Enable It
There are many features on Android phones, and one of the significant characteristics is the USB debugging mode with the "Developer options". The most distinctive highlight of this mode is Android Software Development Kit (short for SDK), which can create a virtual channel between your Android phone and computer after the physical connection is established.
That means you can access and use Android device as a developer when the mode is on. Thus, there's a need to turn on USB debugging before reading and managing the OnePlus phone or other Android devices.
In this regard, it is necessary to learn how to turn on USB debugging on OnePlus phone before using some pro Android management programs, like MobiKin Assistant for Android, Transfer for Mobile, Doctor for Android, etc.

- Go to "Developer options" > Enable both "Developer options" and "USB debugging" > When the prompt "Allow USB debugging?" pops up, tap "OK."
