Turning on the screen of your Xiaomi is a very simple task, unless circumstances get in the way. If so, even pressing the power button can get awkward . It can be a matter of the position, a malfunction, that you have wet hands, or also because of sheer laziness. Whatever, the situation is complicated.

Fortunately, Xiaomi phones have various shortcuts that allow you to access the lock screen without having to use the power button . Next, we will tell you about three of the most interesting methods that you can try right now.

Can't you use the power button? So you can turn on the screen of your Xiaomi

The methods below can save you some time when you want to get into mobile. If the power button is not an option or the reader does not recognize your fingerprint, then try one of the following options.

1. Turn on the screen of your Xiaomi with a double touch

In case you find it difficult to turn on the screen of your Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO in the usual way, there is a very fast alternative. It consists of giving a double touch with the tip of the finger to the screen to access the phone.

This functionality allows you to turn the screen on and off with a simple and quick double tap. This is an efficient method and can save you precious seconds . To activate this feature, simply follow these steps:

• Go to Settings > Lock screen .
• Turn on the 'Double tap to turn screen on or off' switch.

2. Don't want to press anything? Pick up the phone

An even faster method than the previous one is to turn on the screen of your Xiaomi just by picking up the mobile . This feature saves you from using the power button, fingerprint sensor, and double taps. Here you have little to do, because it is enough to just pick up the mobile for the screen to activate . This is how you can enable it:

• Go to Settings > Lock screen .
• Activate the 'Lift to Activate' switch.

On the other hand, if you use facial unlocking as a security method, you would have at your disposal a super combo to access the desktop. How do you activate it? Well, in the following way:

• Go to Settings > Passwords & Security .
• Click on 'Face Unlock'.
• Enter the security pattern and follow the instructions to add your facial data.

3. Use the Google assistant to turn on the screen of your Xiaomi

Having the help of the Google assistant can be a great advantage. The service is mostly installed by default on the brand's mobiles. And to activate the screen of your Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO, just say ' Ok, Google '.

The assistant is able to respond even with the screen locked . Although it may be the case that the option is not active in the Google Assistant settings. If so, you can enable it as follows:

• Sign in to the Google app.
• Click on your profile icon.
• Go to 'Settings'.
• Go to 'Google Assistant'.
• Click on 'Lock screen'.
• Turn on the switch for 'Assistant responses on lock screen'.

Keep in mind that Google Assistant is not the only service capable of turning on the screen of your Xiaomi . If you have another assistant like Alexa, it can also be activated even with the lock screen.
