I just turned it on by accident and I can’t turn it off… I’m using IOS 26 rn and I can’t go back and I can’t disable the developer mode, I’m not a developer so yeah
Accidentally turned on developer mode.. can’t get it off now
Recommended
To disable Developer Mode on your iPhone, open the Settings app, navigate to Privacy & Security, scroll all the way down to find the Developer Mode setting, switch it off, and then restart your iPhone for the changes to take effect.

I already tried that but doesn’t works
Oh, if you don't see the Developer Mode setting in Settings > Privacy & Security, I’d suggest that you file a feedback report.
I used to see the issue once, and turning off and then back on my device fixes the issue sometimes. You can also consider erasing all content and settings, or even resetting the device, if that is a testing device and the data loss doesn't matter. You can see the options to do so by going to Settings > General, and then scrolling all the way down.

Unfortunately this is my personal phone with a lot of photos ’ stuff in it, so I can’t erase all of my data also I did not backup my phone before downloading iOS 26 - enabling developer mode so thanks for your help I think I’m gonna call Apple about this and see if they can do something, have a great day
