In today's digital world, almost everyone owns a smartphone, but very few know about the hidden functions accessible through secret codes. These codes allow users to unlock advanced settings, test hardware, check device information, and even troubleshoot issues.

Both iOS and Android have their own set of secret codes, with some being universal and others specific to certain models. Android phones, in particular, operate on the USSD protocol, allowing users to access various hidden functions regardless of the manufacturer.

In this guide, we’ll explore the most useful secret Android codes that can help you get the most out of your device.

How to Use Secret Codes on Android

To use these codes:

  1. Open the Phone Dialer app.

  2. Enter the code exactly as provided.

  3. In most cases, you don’t need to press the call button—the phone will automatically recognize the command.

⚠ Warning: Some codes may alter system settings or reset data. Use them carefully.
