Amazon Firestick is one of the most popular streaming devices across the globe. It can make any TV smart by allowing you to watch Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, and hundreds of other applications on your television. However, you are required to enable Developer Options in case you want to unlock advanced features such as third-party APK files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the process of enabling this option has changed in recent Fire OS updates. This is the reason why many people are unable to find it. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to turn on Developer Options on your Firestick easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Developer Options? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Developer Options<\/a> is a menu that is hidden inside the Firestick settings. It allows you to turn on ADB debugging, test applications, install applications from unknown sources, and use advanced customization tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though this feature is primarily designed for developers, regular users use it to install apps that are not normally available in the Amazon App Store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you click on About, you will be able to see your device name at the top of the screen. For example, the Firestick 4K. At this point, you have to highlight the device without clicking on it normally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather, you must press the Select button seven times in a row, which is the center button on the remote. After a few seconds, you will see: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
