Access accessibility features
The buttons on your Huawei mobile can serve as a shortcut to activate an accessibility feature that you select yourself in the device settings. By pressing both volume buttons at the same time for 3 seconds, this tool starts working without you having to do anything else.
To set up this shortcut on your Huawei, you need to follow these steps:
- Enter your Huawei mobile settings.
- Swipe down and go to the "Accessibility Features" section.
- Click on “Accessibility”.
- In the "Interaction control" section, click on "Direct access to accessibility".
- Enable Accessibility Shortcut and tap "Select Features".
- Choose the function you want to activate quickly with the physical buttons of the terminal and that's it, you'll have finished setting up the shortcut.
In our example, we have selected the Screen Reader function, so when you press both volume buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds, this tool is activated and begins to read all the text that appears on the screen. To deactivate it, you just have to press both buttons again for a few seconds.
Talk to Huawei Assistant
Like Google or Apple, Huawei has its own virtual assistant called Celia, which you can activate both by voice -Hey, Celia- and using the on / off button. In this way, the button can act as a shortcut to quickly open the assistant of your Huawei mobile without the need to speak.
Here's how you need to configure the settings for the power button to allow you to talk to the assistant:
- Enter your Huawei mobile settings.
- Swipe down and click “HUAWEI Assistant”.
- Enter “AI Voice”.
- Tap "Turn on with power button" and check the box you will find on the new page.
From then on, just press the power button for 1 second so that Celia seems ready to help you with whatever you need. For example, you can ask him what the weather will be tomorrow in your city.
Take a screenshot
One of the most useful shortcuts on your Huawei mobile is the one that allows you to take a screenshot by pressing the power button and the volume down button simultaneously. So, at any time, you can convert the content displayed on the screen into an image that you can easily share later.
