# Local Android Phone Debugging

There are many ways you can connect your android phone to your computer to start debugging your app locally on real device.

## USB debugging

On your phone, in the settings app, turn on developer mode. Go to `About phone` -> `Software information`  and click multiple times on Build number. It may ask you to unlock your phone.

Then, navigate to developer settings and find the USB debugging option and turn in on.

Now, connect your phone via a USB cable to your computer. Confirm on your phone that you want to allow access.

Now, your phone should be visible in the dropdown selection in Visual Studio.
