How to Add Wireless Debugging Shortcut on Android?

Want Effortless Wireless Debugging? Here’s How to Add a Quick Settings Tile on Android

Adding a Wireless Debugging tile to your Android’s Quick Settings makes tasks simple and fast. You won’t need to repeat long steps each time. This guide walks you through adding that handy tile and explains why it can save time, especially with apps like Shizuku.

What is Wireless Debugging?

  • Wireless Debugging lets your phone connect to your computer or another device using Wi-Fi instead of a cable.
  • It helps developers and users send commands or use advanced apps—no root required.
  • Some apps, like Shizuku, need this for extra features without causing bank apps or games to break.

Why Add a Quick Settings Tile?

  • No need to dig through menus every time.
  • Fast, one-tap access right from your phone’s pull-down menu.
  • Makes it easier to turn the feature on or off whenever needed.
  • You can disable Developer Options for safety or privacy (good for banking apps that dislike Developer Mode).

Step-by-Step: Add Wireless Debugging to Quick Settings

Step 1: Get Ready

Make sure your phone has Developer Options enabled:

  1. Go to Settings > About Phone.
  2. Tap Build Number 7 times to unlock Developer Options.

Step 2: Enable Developer Options

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Find System or Advanced, tap Developer Options.

Step 3: Set Up Wireless Debugging

In Developer Options, scroll to Wireless Debugging and turn it ON.

Step 4: Add to Quick Settings

  1. Find Quick Settings Developer Tiles in Developer Options.
  2. Toggle or enable the Wireless Debugging switch so the tile appears in your quick panel.

Step 5: Customize Your Quick Settings Panel

  1. Swipe down twice from the top of your screen to open Quick Settings.
  2. Tap the pencil icon or “Edit” to arrange your tiles.
  3. Drag the Wireless Debugging tile to the active area for easier access.
  4. Tap Done or exit edit mode.

Step 6: One-Tap Use

Next time you want to use Shizuku or any feature needing wireless debugging, just tap the new tile.

How This Helps With Shizuku and Other Apps

  • Shizuku lets certain apps use high-level functions safely.
  • Normally, you’d have to repeat setup steps every time if you keep Developer Options off (to keep banking apps working).
  • Adding the tile means no extra tapping or menu diving—just swipe and tap.

Tips for a Smooth Experience

  • Don’t see Quick Settings Tiles? Some phones might use a different menu name. Search for “developer tiles” in the Settings search bar.
  • Security: You can turn off Developer Options when not needed, but keep the tile for quick enabling.
  • If troubleshooting: Restart your phone if the tile won’t show at first.

Adding the Wireless Debugging tile is a smart, positive way to save time and effort. With this simple change, using tools like Shizuku becomes easier. Troubleshooting and advanced tasks will feel less frustrating and more in your control.
