How To Disable Developer Options
Once you are done using the developer options you can turn it off simply by switching the toggle switch ON to OFF inside developer options in the settings menu. Go to Settings>Developer options. And then turn the toggle switch ON to OFF, return back to the settings menu and it will no longer be there.

All other Android devices like HTC, Sony, LG etc. will have the same methods but terms like About phone may differ. In short, try to search for Build number in the settings and tap it 7 times, that will enable the developer mode on your Android devices easily.
