- So you can enable Huawei and Honor double tap unlock
- The Huawei double tap option does not appear, what do I do?
One of the most useful functions of EMUI, the customization layer of Huawei and Honor, is based precisely on the possibility of turning on the screen with a double tap. Thanks to this curious function we can interact with the phone without having to press the unlock button to unlock the screen, as we already saw with Xiaomi phones. Unfortunately, it is not possible to activate the double tap on Huawei on some of the company's latest models. In any case, we will show you how to proceed if you have a phone compatible with this function.
The steps that we will see below are compatible with both EMUI 8 and some versions of EMUI 9. We can carry them out on Huawei models such as the Huawei P8, P 8 Lite 2017, P8 Lite 2018, P9, P9 Lite, P10, P20, P20 Lite, P20 Pro, P30 Lite, Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, Mate 20, Mate 20 Lite, Mate 20 Pro, Y3, Y5, Y6, Y7, Y9, P Smart 2018, P Smart 2019, P Smart Plus, P Smart Plus 2019 and Honor models such as Honor 8, 9, 9 Lite, 10, 10 Lite, 20, 20 Lite, 7X, 8X, 9X and 7S.
So you can enable Huawei and Honor double tap unlock
Activating the Huawei double-touch unlocking is something that usually depends on the version of EMUI we have. In general, the process is as simple as going to the Smart Assistance section that we can find in the Settings application.
Within this section we will go to Control movements and finally to the option of Press twice. In this section we will have to activate the option to press twice to turn on or turn off the screen to enable the aforementioned unlocking method. Now we will only have to lock the phone to verify that, indeed, the function has been enabled correctly.
If we have an EMUI version higher than EMUI 8.0, it is likely that this option can be found in the Accessibility section with some variation in the name. This section can be found within Smart Assistance, although it can also be found outside of this, depending again on the version of EMUI.
The Huawei double tap option does not appear, what do I do?
Unfortunately Huawei and Honor have decided to disable the double tap option in the latest versions of EMUI. The only way to proceed in this case is based on installing an old version of the system, although it is not recommended.
Is there an app for double tap? No, unless we want to use root , although unfortunately it is no longer possible on most phones from the Chinese firm.
