Get to know your Xiaomi Smart Band 7 thoroughly
Xiaomi has not told you all the possibilities offered by its Xiaomi Smart Band 7, so below we reveal some of its most useful features. Get the most out of your purchase and discover all kinds of actions that you can perform in a matter of seconds.
Set a smart alarm
For several generations you can set an alarm the same way you do with your mobile, although carrying out the process from the bracelet is much more accessible. Now with this new model you can set a smart alarm.
This means that the wearable is capable of recording your sleep schedule to wake you up at the optimal time closest to the time indicated by yourself. To do this, you just have to access any alarm from the bracelet and select the “Smart alarm” section.
Control Netflix from your Xiaomi Band 7
One of the most outstanding curiosities of this Xiaomi Smart Band 7 is that it allows you to control Netflix. It is one of the most unknown functions of the device and for this reason it is worth pointing out this aspect.
If you want to have control of Netflix from the bracelet, all you have to do is send the content from your smartphone to a device with Android TV through the Chromecast Built-In. After that, the corresponding buttons will appear to pause the transmission or modify the volume.
Use Google Maps
One of the disappointments for users was that the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 did not have a GPS chip. However, this does not mean that you cannot take advantage of services such as Google Maps and it is that you can actually use them, although not as such. In short, you have to give the bracelet permission to access notifications from the Google navigation app and these will appear on the device along with the distance we must travel.
In the application you use to link your wearable, go to “Devices” and select “Notifications and reminders”, then open “Application alerts”, select “Manage applications” and add Google Maps.
Create spheres with an image
Personalization is another interesting facet of your Xiaomi Smart Band 7 and the spheres are a fundamental part of it. Thanks to them you can modify the appearance of the bracelet interface and the new generation allows you to maintain the distribution of the elements, but including an image saved in the gallery.
This opens up many possibilities, whether it’s choosing a photo with your partner or from your favorite series. Of course, remember that it will appear cropped. If you want to do it, you have to go back to the “Devices” section in the app where you linked the Xiaomi accessory and access the store . Locate and download the one that catches your attention and tap on “Choose photo”.
Customize the vibration to your liking
Again this time you have to go to the application you use to connect your Xiaomi Smart Band 7, such as Mi Fitness or Zepp. With this option you can easily identify what type of notification it is to know if it is important. For this, the bracelet uses a different vibration for each warning.
Locating this function is very simple and, as we have mentioned, you have to access the app in question. In the “Device” tab, select the “Vibration” section and in this section you can indicate the vibration you want to receive.
