I enable it since S1 on all my devices, never managed to do any harm. My Shizuku works just fine and some apps are much better with it. I use much more dangerous things then this developers menu, believe me. I am not even sure you can really crash the system with those options.

Hi🌸

Turning on Developer Options on your phone isn’t harmful by itself it’s simply a menu with extra settings intended for app developers.

However, it can cause apps on your device or the device itself to crash or behave incorrectly.

OK can I just turn it on to set a monitoring app to monitor fps temp etc, and then turn off if the app doesn't require it to stay on?

If you know what you are doing then you can use developer options. You can disable them when you are done.
