While the Honor 7A offers a lot of features for the price, some of its abilities can be difficult to find. Here is our list of Honor 7A tips and tricks to help you make the most out of your new phone.

How to set up gestures

There are a few hidden in the settings. The flip gesture allows you to silence alarms and other notifications by turning the phone over. To set it up, go to Settings > Smart Assistance > Motion Control > Flip. Two toggle bars allow you to customize the gesture.

You can also turn the screen on and off by enabling the double-tap gesture. You enable it, much like the flip gesture, by opening Settings > Smart Assistance > Motion Control > Double Touch. Toggle the Double Tap bar to enable the feature.

How to use Split-screen mode

Split screen is a pretty standard feature on most Android phones. However, the 18:9 aspect ratio on the Honor 7A actually gives you a decent amount of screen real estate for two apps. You can easily turn on split screen by long-pressing the Recent Apps icon on the navigation bar. You can then select the two apps you wish to open. If you want to resize the apps, use the draggable bar between the two apps to make adjustments.

How to use quick settings from the lock screen

Similar to the Control Panel in iOS, the Honor 7A features a convenient bar that allows you to access quick settings from the lock screen. You can access the quick settings by swiping up at the bottom of the lock screen. Shortcuts to the recording app, flashlight, timer, and calculator are available. You can also add, delete, and pause the rotating covers that act as a screensaver on the Honor 7A.

How to customize your home screen

The Honor 7A has several options to customize your screen. You can change the wallpaper, add widgets, switch to the app drawer, and even change transitions between screens.

By default, apps on the Honor 7A are shown on the home screen. If you prefer the look different, you can easily add the App Drawer on your phone. To switch to the App Drawer, go to Settings > Display > Home screen style. Select the radio button for Drawer.

If you want to change the look of your home screen, the Honor 7A allows you several options to customize your phone. Long-press on an empty place on the home screen to start. You will see the screen minimize and several icons appear. You can easily change your wallpaper and add widgets by selecting the appropriate icon.

You can also change the way your phone transitions from screen to screen by long pressing on the home screen. Select the Transitions icon and you’ll see a number of different options appear. You can tap on each transition to see a preview. Once you have selected your favorite transition, tap on a blank area on the screen to activate.

The Settings icon allows you to make even more adjustments to the home screen. You can change the home layout, auto-align apps, Shake, Badge app icons, App suggestions, Google feed, and loop your home screen. you simply need to long-press on the home screen and select the Settings icon.

Hope, you liked this features.

Thank you.
