How to Turn Off All Sensors on Android Smartphone

With the advent of smartphones, everything has become more comfortable. However, there is a flip side to that sometimes; after shutting off these smartphones, there are some sensors on them that keep working. Hence, anyone can spy on anyone and steal some of the crucial information from the smartphone. 

There are some sensors like location tracking and cellular connectivity, which can be easily disabled, but apart from these, various sensitive sensors can not be disabled. Some of these sensors are like the smartphone’s camera or the microphone that can see and hear everything one does in their private spaces. 

But not so many people are aware that there is an intimate setting on an Turn Off All Sensors on Android Smartphone. Here is how one can turn off all the sensors on an Android smartphone: 

Developer options 

Turning off all the sensors on an Android smartphone is a must thing to do because by doing so, one will have some more privacy, and the sensitive data on the smartphone, such as bank details, will also be safer. 

With the help of some guidance, anyone can turn off these sensors on an Android smartphone. Here is a step by step process to disable the unwanted sensors on the smartphone: 

  • The first step to disable the sensors is by enabling developer options. It is a pack of additional instruments that Google gives for the Android app designers.
  • The most important thing about the developer options is that it is entirely safe, and by enabling this, the smartphone’s warranty will also be safe.
  • Google has also stated in its documentation that this feature not only helps the app developers but also allows the user to control all the sensors on their Android smartphones. 

How to enable the developer options 

To enable the developer options, first, you have to initiate the ‘settings’ on the smartphone. After launching the ‘settings’ when scrolling down, there will be a section called ‘About Phone,’ and you will have to open that section. 

  • After that, there will be an option named ‘Build Number.’ You will have to keep tapping on that option until there will be an option asking for your lock screen PIN, pattern, or password. 
  • By entering the asked information in that option, there will be a message which will say that ‘you are now a developer.’
  • Now return to the main settings page. There will be an option, which is ‘Developer Options.’ After tapping on that option, scroll down, and there you will find ‘Quick Settings Developer Tiles.’
  • Quick Settings Developer Tiles’ will take you to another page, which will have the option ‘sensor off.’ Activation of ‘sensor off’ is the final step to do, and all of the sensors of the smartphone will be disabled.
  • Now that you have finished all the steps and turned off all the unwanted sensors when you pull down the notification shade, there will be a new tile on the quick settings tray named ‘sensor off.’
  • If one does not need the tile on the quick setting tray, then it can be removed from the tray just by altering the panels. 

 This whole process will allow other sensors like wifi and mobile networks to keep functioning. Hence, the ‘sensor off’ option can be a boon to disable some of the smartphone sensors. By using this option, one can have a more private and safe mobile experience. And with the help of a quick setting, one can turn on and turn off all of the sensors again with a single
