[Fixed] How to Solve USB Debugging Greyed Out on Android?

When USB Debugging is disabled or grayed out on your Android device, it stops the software from connecting to your phone. This is a security measure put in place by manufacturers to keep your device safe.

How This Affects Our Software:

For our software to work correctly, USB Debugging needs to be turned on. If this option is greyed out, here's what happens:

• Our app won't be able to connect to your device.
• Key debugging features won't be available.
• The software's functionality will be limited or completely blocked.
• You might see error messages saying the device is "unauthorized" or "disconnected."

This usually happens because some device manufacturers, like Samsung, include security features (like "Auto Blocker") that disable USB Debugging by default to prevent unauthorized access. However, rest assured that MobiKin prioritizes your privacy and data security, ensuring your personal information is always safe.
