How to use secret codes on Android phones?
If you have an Android device, you can access various menus, settings and information by typing the codes we shared below into the search section on your phone. However, it should be noted that some of these codes, with which you can activate various modes, may not work on every phone due to their manufacturers’ own interfaces.
In addition, when buying a second hand smartphone, many people use these test codes to check various features of the device, from the screen to the speaker. Also, considering that special access codes such as device reset among modes can cause data loss, you should consider making a backup before doing this.
