Featured Usage Tips

Enroll Your Facial Information and Enable Face Unlock

Face unlock allows you to unlock your Phone quickly and securely, without the need of a password.
l Face unlock can only be used when the owner account is logged in. It is not supported by
PrivateSpace.
l Face unlock is not available if the lock screen password has not been entered for three or more
days in a row, or if your Phone has been remotely locked or restarted.
l When using Face unlock, keep your eyes open, and face your Phone straight on from a
distance of 20–50 cm (about 8–20 in.). In order to scan your face accurately, avoid using this
feature when you are in a dark environment or facing direct light.
1 Open Settings. Go to Security & privacy > Face recognition and enter your lock screen

your Phone and hold it to your face. If you do not need this feature, leave it deselected. Touch Get started, and enroll your face.
3 If you are concerned that face unlock may fail due to a change in appearance after makeup or a
haircut, or you want to enroll an entirely different face, go to the Face recognition screen, touch Set an alternate look and follow the onscreen instructions just like you did when registering your
face initially.
4 Face unlock modes:
Select an unlock method: On the Face recognition screen, touch Unlock device. If you

AI camera is a preset camera feature on your Phone that intelligently identies your current
photography scene and automatically adjusts the color and brightness of your photo to help you
achieve better effects.

Exciting Features
AI camera provides you with the following features:
l Intelligently identies photographing scenes and improves photo effects: AI camera
supports multiple scenes, such as the stage, beach, blue sky, greenery, and text scenes. After smart

Use Panorama Mode to Take Panoramic Photos

Panoramas provide a wider viewing angle than ordinary photos, letting you take sweeping landscape
shots.

Screen Lock and Unlock

Set a Lock Screen Password to Protect Your Privacy

Your Phone stores a lot of sensitive information, such as personal photos, contact information,
banking apps (for example, Alipay). Set a lock screen password so that a password is required each
time you unlock your Phone. A lock screen password helps to protect your private information if your
Phone is lost or accessed by an unauthorized user.
Set a lock screen password: Open Settings, go to Security & privacy > Lock screen
password, and set the type of lock screen password you prefer.
l Set a PIN: A PIN number is a sequence of digits. Entering a PIN to unlock your Phone is quick and
simple. For better security, use a long sequence of random numbers as your PIN. Go to Set lock
screen password, follow the prompts to set up a PIN. Alternatively, touch Change unlock
method, and set 4-digit PIN or Custom PIN.
l Set a pattern: Unlock your Phone by drawing a preset pattern on the screen. For better security,
use a pattern that includes overlapping line segments. Go to Set lock screen password > Change
unlock method > Pattern and draw the same pattern twice. The pattern must connect at least 4
dots.
l Set a password: A password made up of numbers, letters, and special characters is more secure
than a PIN or pattern. For better security, use a password with 8 or more characters that includes
numbers, letters, and special characters. Be sure to memorize the password so that you don't get
locked out of your Phone if you forget it. Go to Set lock screen password > Change unlock
method > Password, follow the prompts to set up a password.
l Unlock your device using a smart band: If your device supports unlocking with a smart band,
the screen will automatically light up when the band comes within 80 cm of your device. Swiping
on the screen of your Phone will instantly unlock the device. Touch Smart unlock, and follow the
onscreen prompts to complete the setup.
22
Home Screen
l Unlock your device using a ngerprint: If your device supports ngerprint unlock, this is the
recommended unlock method. Using a ngerprint is a secure and quick way to unlock the
device. After setting a lock screen password, touch Add in the dialog box that pops up and
follow the onscreen prompts to enroll your ngerprints.
l For security reasons, please do not disable the lock screen password: A lock screen
password prevents unauthorized access to your device. For the security of your device, do not
select Disable lock screen password as the screen lock method.
l Regular password prompts help you to remember your password: If you have not
entered your screen lock password for 3 days, the system will require that you enter the
password to unlock your device.

Lock the Screen to Quickly Secure Your Phone

If you don't use your Phone for a set period of time, the screen will turn off and lock. As long as the
screen stays on, you can use your Phone without needing to unlock the screen. Lock your screen

Introduction to User Data Protection

Worried that your photos, bank account information, or other private data might get leaked if your
Phone is lost or stolen? Huawei Phones now feature security chips in addition to the combined
protection provided by the trusted root key and lock screen password. Whether your data is stored in
a memory card or internal storage, it will receive the highest level of protection.
Stronger encryption and safeguards: Huawei Phones use a hardware key that cannot be used to
decrypt data when separated from the Phone. Based on the trusted root key, the encrypted
components are incorporated into the memory control chip to enhance the data protection capability
of the hardware. This works together with your lock screen password to protect your private data.
When you use PrivateSpace, Multi-user, encrypted memory card les, or other features to encrypt
photos, personal information, or other personal data, others cannot gain access to your data unless
the trusted root key, lock screen password, and security chip are simultaneously cracked.
Not all devices support memory cards.
