Although Apple devices also have these secret codes, we will discuss them in another guide because today, we are with some best and most commonly used Android secret codes. So, without any further ado, let’s get started.

What are USSD Codes? Is It Safe To Use? 

USSD (unstructured supplementary service data) is an Android mobile technology. This is about more than 20 years old technology, but it is still being used on most phones today. It is basically a type of MMI code. 

Using the USSD codes, suppose you press the SEND button just after pressing the # key, and then to execute that code, your action is directly transferred to your mobile network operator. There is a nearly limitless application of these secret codes. 

Now, talking about whether these codes are safe to use or not. But, then, you do not need to worry about this because Google itself creates it, so there is no harm in using them. Anyway, now let’s take a look at them.
