P10/P10 Plus - Three Time-Saving Features for Your Huawei Smartphone

[Guest Huawei UK]

Huawei's feature-packed EMUI 5.1 system comes with a number of handy shortcuts that give you quick access to frequently used features and menu options. This tutorial provides a brief introduction to three useful time-saving features.

1. Searching for Menu Options

The global search feature allows you to search for menu options directly from the home screen. For example, when you want to set up a portable hotspot, you can access the portable hotspot settings directly from the search results, you do not need to go to the settings menu.

To access the global search feature, swipe down on the home screen and enter the keyword you want to search for. Matching results will then be displayed beneath the search box.

2. Blocking Notifications

To block notifications, you can go to Settings > Notification & status bar > Notifications management, and choose the app you want to block the notifications from. However, it can be a time-consuming process, especially if you have installed a large number of apps.

Now you can block notifications from an app directly from the notification panel. Simply swipe down from the notification bar at the top of the screen, touch and hold the notification from the app that you want to block, and then select Block all from this app.

3. Accessing the Shortcuts Panel from the Lock Screen

To make an NFC payment, you can go to Settings > More > Near Field Communication (NFC) to enable this feature. However, the shortcuts panel allows you to quickly enable and disable NFC and other frequently used features such as Wi-Fi, mobile data, Bluetooth, and Airplane mode. The shortcuts panel can be accessed directly from the lock screen, simply swipe down from the top of the screen and touch the desired shortcut.
