Huawei and Honor devices run on custom skin called “Emotion UI” or “EMUI” on top of Android OS. EMUI 10 is the latest version of EMUI skin offering a wide range of customization offers. One such is the “Lock Screen Widget”. Follow the below steps to activate the lock screen widget on any Huawei and Honor smartphone.
Not everyone will be comfortable with the Power button to turn off the screen. Some find it a bit high for short fingers while others don’t like pressing the hardware buttons often. In this scenario, the EMUI special feature called Lock Screen Widget comes handy. All you have to do is add lock screen icon on your device home screen and use this icon to lock screen instead of the power button. Many of the Huawei and Honor smartphone users are unaware of this in-built widget and search for third-party widgets on Google Play Store.
Apart from lock screen widgets, there also Weather, Clock, Music, Screen Lock, and Calendar which provide invaluable assistance in daily life, and can best serve you when they’re easier to access.
