Three interesting gestures hidden in your Xiaomi

The function of MIUI gestures is to simplify various tasks and provide convenient shortcuts to access specific menu sections. Next, we mention three interesting gestures that your Xiaomi hides:

1. Activate the Google assistant from the home button

There are many ways to get to the Google assistant on a Xiaomi. However, a somewhat unknown route is to hold down the home button for a few seconds. It is a gesture that can be configured from the MIUI settings menu.

Usually this shortcut is set by default. However, if your device has it disabled, you can enable it with these steps:

• Go to Settings > Additional settings > Gesture shortcuts > Button shortcuts .
• Next, tap on ' Long press the home button '.
• Next, select ' Start Google Assistant '.

2. Lock the focus and exposure of the camera with this hidden gesture of your Xiaomi

You have to take advantage of all the settings and tricks offered by the MIUI camera to take good pictures. A good tip to get a decent photo is to lock the camera's focus and exposure using a hidden gesture on your Xiaomi.

The gesture is very simple to perform. All you need to do is open the MIUI Camera app and tap the screen for a few seconds . Immediately the application will display a warning indicating that the focus and exposure have been locked. In addition, you will also notice a small padlock where you have pressed.

3. Access Bluetooth settings from control center

Do you need to make a configuration in the Bluetooth sections? Of course, you can do it from the settings menu just like anyone else would. Or, you can be a complete mobile professional and access it with a hidden and mostly unknown gesture of your Xiaomi.

Sure, all roads lead to Rome, but with this neat little shortcut you'll get to Bluetooth settings much faster. How exactly does it work? Well, very simple.
