Hi
If the Build number on your Samsung Galaxy A05s isn’t enabling Developer Options when you tap it 7 times, here are some possible reasons and fixes 👇


---

🔍 Step-by-Step Fix

1. Make sure you’re in the correct menu

Go to: Settings → About phone → Software information → Build number
Now, tap “Build number” quickly 7 times.

➡️ After a few taps, you should see:
“You are now X steps away from being a developer!”
Then, it’ll ask for your PIN or password (if you have one).

If you don’t see that, continue below 👇

2. Check if a work or school profile is blocking it

If your phone is managed by a school, company, or parental control app, Developer Options might be disabled by admin policy.
✅ Go to: Settings → Security and privacy → Other security settings → Device admin apps
If something is enabled there (like “Device Policy” or “Family Link”), temporarily disable it and try again.


---

3. Restart your phone

A simple restart can sometimes fix the issue if it’s just a system glitch.


---

4. Try Safe Mode

Sometimes third-party apps interfere.

Hold Power button → Hold “Power off” → Tap “Safe mode”.

In Safe Mode, go to the Build number again and try tapping 7 times.
If it works in Safe Mode, a third-party app is blocking it.

5. Software glitch or update issue

If your phone was recently updated, the “About phone” menu could be bugged. Try: Settings → General management → Reset → Reset settings
(This won’t delete data, just resets system settings like Wi-Fi and permissions.)
Then, try again.

6. If still not working

Go to Settings → About phone → Software information,
and take note of your One UI Core version and Android version — tell me what they are,
so I can check if there’s a known bug in your current software.

One UI Core is 7.0
Android version is 15

Thank you
So your Galaxy A05s is running Android 15 with One UI Core 7.0 — that’s the latest major update, and it’s important because Samsung slightly changed how Developer Options is accessed in One UI 7 (especially on budget “Core” models).

Here’s what’s happening and what you can do 👇

⚙️ Why “Build number” isn’t responding

In One UI Core 7.0, Samsung has added a small delay or feedback bug on some A-series phones (like the A05s, A05, and A15).
When you tap “Build number” 7 times quickly, the taps sometimes don’t register properly, or the screen doesn’t give any visual feedback, even though it’s working in the background.


---

✅ Try This Exactly

1. Go to Settings → About phone → Software information


2. Find Build number


3. Tap it slowly (about one tap per second — not too fast).


4. After a few taps, you should see:
🔹 “You are now X steps away from being a developer!”
🔹 Then it’ll ask for your PIN (if you have one).



If you don’t see this, continue below 👇


---

🧭 Check if Developer Options is already enabled

1. Go back to the main Settings menu.


2. Scroll down to the bottom — you should now see Developer options (just above “About phone”).

If you see it, it’s already unlocked — tap it and enable “Developer options” with the toggle on top.

If it’s missing, continue below.

🔒 Check for admin or restriction issues

Sometimes One UI Core restricts dev access if:

Google Family Link, Knox Manage, or any device admin app is active.
Check this: Settings → Security and privacy → Other security settings → Device admin apps
If you see anything active there (like “Device Policy” or “Family Link”), disable it temporarily.


Then retry the Build number steps.


---

🔄 If still not working

Try a quick settings reset: Settings → General management → Reset → Reset settings
(This doesn’t delete personal data — just resets system settings.)
Then restart and repeat the Build number taps.

If all else fails,You will need ti wait until Samsung sends a new security patch for the phone.
