It is clear that the methods of unlocking mobile devices have evolved to improve the speed with which we can get to unlock our phones. One of the most loved options by users is the fingerprint reader, although it is on a par with easy recognition. However, this functionality offers us different ways to improve our visual experience when using this tool, as is the case with OPPO smartphones.
But, the best thing about fingerprint readers is that they allow us to modify the animation with which they are shown once we place the finger. However, for this we must have an OPPO mobile device that has this sensor in a specific site of the terminal. And not only this, but it will also be necessary to take into account other aspects that we will see later. If you want to discover how to customize the animation of your mobile from the Chinese firm, you are in the right place.
What is needed
To begin with, the main thing is that we have in our power an OPPO mobile device that comes with a finger sensor, and not only this, but that it is integrated into the screen of the phone itself. Well, if not, the style that we change to this terminal unlocking tool will be of no use, as it will not show any type of animation of course.
Therefore, if you have this tool built into the side or back of your mobile device, we regret to tell you that you will not be able to change the way it is displayed. Basically because it will not have any type of visual change available, of course, since it is not on the terminal screen itself. Although, in general, there are already many phones of the Asian brand that have this tool integrated into their touch panels.
In the event that you are one of the lucky ones, we will have to go on to make sure that we have a version of ColorOS 6.0 or higher , since that was when the Chinese firm began to let us customize this functionality on their smartphones.
Another important factor that you may not have fallen into is that, in order to modify it at will, we must have previously registered our fingerprint , otherwise we will not be able to customize this tool. If you don’t know how to register it, you will have to follow the following steps from your OPPO mobile :
- Access your terminal settings.
- Enter the Fingerprint, face and password section> Add Fingerprint .
- Now accept all the terms of use that they ask you.
After adding your fingerprint to the Asian brand’s phone, you can start enjoying this unlocking and, of course, its respective customization that we will see below.
How do you do it?
As you already know, while the finger is recognized there is an animation that confirms that it already has the approval of the reader who gives us access to the terminal. Well, there are several different designs to choose from, more minimalist or more spectacular in terms of lighting and color, in addition to the one that is displayed by default when we launch the phone. We can even make it be used for other functions. Although, the first thing we will see will be how to modify your style when using this unlock tool.
And the truth is that it is one of the simplest processes that we will have to carry out, since we will only need to enter the settings of our terminal with ColorOS. More than anything because it is a functionality that is integrated into the mobile devices of the Asian manufacturer. Therefore, we must follow the following steps from the phone:
- Enter the settings of your OPPO.
- Click on Fingerprint, face and password.
- Select the Fingerprint option.
- Click on the Animation section of the fingerprint icon .
Now you can choose from a total of eight different styles offered by the customization layer of the Chinese brand of smartphones. Some are simpler design, like the one that comes by default on the phone, while others will be more colorful and spectacular. So you will surely find your favorite among them.
However, if you need not to have any type of animation, since it has reached a point that is even annoying, you will have to go directly to the third and last option. Not without first talking about the option to Use fingerprint for. With this utility we can achieve the following: Unlock the screen , Lock applications and Safe . This functionality is found within the fingerprint section of the OPPO phone.
In addition to the fact that if you want the finger icon to show us where to place the finger when the screen turns off to use the smartphone, we will have to activate the Unlock option with screen off.
Extra options
It can also happen to us that our terminal has already ended up boring us to the point that the animation of the sensor that is shown on the screen itself annoys us.
Fortunately, we will be able to disable this functionality of our OPPO phone forever. However, unfortunately it is not available for all smartphones, since the firm for now only has it available for those terminals that have the ColorOS 11 version .
Of course, the option to modify the animations you will have at your fingertips no matter how much you do not have this software version, although they will not be used for the fingerprint sensor itself.
And it is that, not only can it get tired, but the battery consumption will be noticed, as well as in the performance of the mobile phone itself. Therefore, to disable all animations you must follow these steps:
- Enter your phone’s settings.
- Click on the option Additional Settings> Accessibility.
- Then click Delete animations .
In this way we will be able to end forever with this setting of our Asian brand phone. Although, as a last resort if you do not have ColorOS 11, you can always choose to remove the fingerprint reader and use another unlocking method on your smartphone so that this animation is never shown again.
