25+ Huawei P9 Tips & Tricks
Are you the proud owner of a new Huawei P9? If you’re setting up your phone for the first time, we recommend checking out our 14 things every Huawei P9 owner should do article. There is a bit of overlap, but for this post we’ve pulled together more than 25 different tips and tricks which can be used to customize and optimize your experience with the Huawei P9. A few of them may seem basic, but we promise that there’s something for everyone. If you have a P9-specific tip you’d like to share with us and our readers, feel free to post it in the comments below.
Since Huawei’s EMUI copies a lot of features found in iOS, you shouldn’t be surprised to learn that there’s a hidden quick launcher panel which appears when you swipe up from the bottom of the display on the lock screen. The only apps which can be launched from the quick launcher panel are the voice recorder, calculator, flashlight, and camera. It’s extremely convenient to tap the power button, swipe in from the bottom and tap the flashlight or camera icons, but we’re not convinced that a calculator and voice recorder are the best options for most people. It would have been nice if the P9 had an option for users to customize the quick launch panel with their own apps like Instagram or Google Search.
