iOS 16, the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system, has a variety of new and improved features for developers. One of the most useful features is the ability to enable Developer Mode, which allows developers to access additional tools and settings on their device.

To enable Developer Mode on iOS 16, follow these steps:

  1. On your iOS device, go to “Settings” and then select “Privacy & Security”

2. Scroll down and to the section “Security”

3. Tap on “Developer Mode”.

4. Enable the “Developer Mode” switch.

5. Restart your device.

6. Tap on “Turn On” and then enter your device pass-code if prompted.

Once you have enabled Developer Mode, you will have access to additional tools and settings on your device, including the ability to test beta versions of apps.

To disable Developer Mode, simply follow the same steps above and disable the “Developer Mode” switch.

Please be aware that in order to turn on the Developer Mode you need to have a beta version of an App installed, trough Firebase App Distribution for example. If you do not have a beta version App installed the Developer Mode will not be available in your device-settings.
