Settings screen.

Warning USB Debugging should only be enabled when you need it. Leaving it enabled all the
time is kind of a security risk for that this mode grants you highlevel access to your device. Say if
you connect your Android phone to a USB charging port in a public location, the port could use
the USB access to your phone to access data on your phone or install malware. This could
happen when and only when USB debugging mode is enabled.
To disable USB Debugging and other developer options when you don't need them, slide the
switch at the top of the screen to OFF.
