To have the complete combo you must download the Poco Launcher app, an application launcher developed by Xiaomi that has a drawer for those of us who long for pure Android. Once you install it and configure the launcher as the default, we will enter the settings by holding down the screen for a few seconds. Press the 'Settings' icon that appears at the bottom of the screen. Then we click on 'More' and, on the next screen, we will activate the switch 'Press twice to lock the screen'. With this, you will have the lock and unlock combo activated and you will not need to touch the side button at all anymore.
