Also known as: ADB debugging, developer USB debug

Last updated August 9, 2026

Definition

USB debugging lets a computer control an Android device over USB via ADB — useful for developers and forensics, dangerous if left on with untrusted cables.

Real-World Example

A technician enabling USB debugging can pull logs with ADB, but a public charging cable could abuse the same setting.
