Android hidden codes: All the custom dialer codes and what they do (2024)

Google has numerous hidden features inside its Android OS. Besides the venerable Android version-specific Easter eggs, it is also possible to utilize custom dialer codes to access a plethora of apps and settings that are otherwise unreachable for regular users. Some of these codes are universal, which means you'll get the desired output on any device, whether it's a cheap budget phone or one of the best Android phones. Having said that, custom OEM skins (like One UI by Samsung and MIUI by Xiaomi) and carrier-customized models often come with their own set of hidden codes.

Below you can find a bunch of generic and device-specific Android hidden codes. Give them a try and discover some of the handiest secret functionalities of your phone.

The so-called hidden codes are basically part of the Man Machine Interface (MMI) schema. These are a bit different from the Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) codes, although both of them start with an asterisk (*) followed by digits that consist of commands or data. Groups of digits may be separated by additional asterisks. The message is terminated with a hash symbol (#), but custom MMI codes may end with an asterisk as well.

While USSD codes are used to communicate with the mobile network operator's servers for menu-based information services, mobile-money services, and location-based content services, the MMI Supplementary Service codes work completely offline.

Just like USSD, you have to dial the "hidden" codes on the stock dialer app to invoke the corresponding action.
