Mobile security is something that concerns all users and although we have more and more protection methods, not all of them are instantaneous as we would like. In Huawei phones we can find options based on the PIN, password, facial unlocking or the now classic fingerprint reader but also thanks to EMUI we can unlock Huawei phones with gadgets that we have and that we use daily.
The best thing about this option called Huawei smart unlocking is that we do not have to have a specific product from the firm and we only have to have it linked to our mobile. Technology allows us in this way to have our photos, files and accounts on the mobile under good protection without having to use various unlocking methods.
How to use smart unlock on Huawei
To start using this function we will have to enter Settings> Biometrics and password> Smart unlock. At this point the steps we must follow are intuitive, but if we do not complete it correctly we could have errors to take advantage of this function. The first thing we will do is touch the upper red button and turn on the bluetooth in case we do not have it activated.
Once turned on, you have to activate the “Smart Unlock” option that appears at the bottom. At this moment we will be shown an extended tab that allows us to choose gadgets to have the mobile unlocked from our list or the option to link new ones. These will be the key that our mobile will use to recognize us and therefore it is recommended that they are especially for own use.
In the list we select the one we want to use, such as a smart watch. Then we will accept the security notice and we can put it to the test to see for ourselves how just by being with the gadget near the mobile we can unlock it without doing anything.
Smart unlock issues
Taking into account that the only technology necessary for this to work is Bluetooth, it is only necessary that we keep the Bluetooth on whenever we want to comfortably unlock the Huawei mobile. Turning it off will not work and will be the quickest way to temporarily stop using it. Regarding compatibility problems or specific failures, we must take into account all the options to fix Bluetooth problems in Huawei and above all, that the Bluetooth range is not very extensive and if we withdraw more than 2 meters, the connection could be lost. .
