Hint

  • When using fingerprints to protect your device, you can use the [Press to unlock with fingerprint] function to prevent your device from being unintentionally unlocked. Find and tap [Settings] > [Security], and then tap the [Press to unlock with fingerprint] switch to enable the function. The device will detect your fingerprint and unlock only when you press the power button. To unlock your device, press the power button and keep your finger on it.
