2. How To Add Or Enable Face Unlock On Your Infinix Note 5 and Note 5 Pro Smart Phones.

Alright, so naturally we know that the Infinix Note 5 and the Note 5 Pro smart phones, do not come with the now popular and trending Face Unlock feature that you can easily find on every other Infinix smart phones nowadays..

But the thing is, somehow, we managed to get something that can be used to mimic the Face Unlock stuff.. So in this case, it is called Google’s Trusted Face, and what does it do?..

Simple, it let’s you register a face just like you would do when registering for face unlock, and whenever you try to unlock your phone, it tries to match the face it sees with the one it has already registered on its database.

3. How To Use “Hey Google” Voice Command To Unlock Your Phone Via Google’s Trusted Voice Unlock

Okay, so this one’s too is something similar to the face unlock we just discussed about up there.. But I think I’ll pick this one over face unlock at anytime and any day, reason because, this seems to be more accurate than the face unlock and unlocks your phone whenever you say the command “Hey Google“. Now how do we set it up?.. Simple.

1. Just like in the first trick above, go to your phone’s settings menu, but this time, go to “Security and Location” settings.
2. From there, locate and go to “Smart Lock“, and select “Voice Match“
3. From there, you will be prompted to add a short voice recording of yourself in other for the system to get used to your voice.
4. After that, when next you need to unlock your phone, just say “Hey Google” and like magic, your phone is automatically unlocked.. Cool Right..

2. All you have to do is just press your phone’s Home Button once and it automatically goes to Picture In Picture Mode.. as simple as falling asleep on a couch… 🤣

5. How To Add Guest Users For Added Security

Alright, so the “Guest User” is another one of the numerous features that has been on the Android Operating System for a very long time now. And what does it do?..

Simple, it simply let’s multiple people have different accounts on a single smart phone, each with his/her own unique settings and apps. So you can create a separate account for your kids with a different set of apps and settings, while keeping your own apps away from them… Now that’s cool right..?

1. Go to your phone’s settings menu as usual..
2. Locate and go to “Users and Accounts“
3. From there, just select “Add User” and that is all… #Cheers…

6. Flip To Mute Calls.

Okay, so in order to cut the long story short, this feature allows you to silent any incoming calls by simply flipping or turning your phone with the screen facing down… Like this..

 

All you have to do is..

1. Go to your phone’s settings menu, and go to “Gesture and Smart Motion.
2. From there, turn on the toggle to flip to mute incoming calls..

7. Take Screenshots with Three Fingers

Alright, so this one is already a well known feature among we Infinix folks… It lets you take a screenshot on your phone by just swiping three fingers at the same time from the top of your screen, to the bottom..

So all you have to do is..

• Go to the same “Gestures and Smart Motion” that we went to in the last trick above.
• Enable the “Take A Screenshot With Three Fingers” options, and when next you want to take a screenshot, just swipe from up to down with three fingers at a time, and that does it.. as simple as stepping on someone in a crowd..🤣

8. Use One-Handed Mode

So the One-Handed Mode is another one of the many numerous features that has been on Infinix phones for a long time now.. and what does it do?..

Simple, for those with small beautiful hands like myself, it simply reduces and shifts your phone’s display size to a convenient corner of your screen, where your hands can easily reach from top to bottom without breaking a sweat… something like this..

So how do we go about it.. well its pretty simple.. If for any reason you find out that your phone’s screen is just too big your hands, all you have to do is..

1. Pull down your phone’s notifications drawer..
2. From the grid of options, select “One-Hand and that is it.. your screen will automatically shrink and shift itself to one corner.. from there, you can decide to change the corners, or increase or reduce the size, or totally disable the one-handed mode.

 

9. How To Use Multi-Screen or Split-Screen Multitasking

Now the split-screen multitasking is a feature that let’s you use two separate apps side by side, one at the top, and one at the bottom, at the same time and on the same screen, like this..

And because the Infinix Note 5 and the Note 5 Pro shipped with androidOne, Google has made it a kind of pretty easy to use this feature..

All you have to do is while you’re using an app, just press and hold on the recent apps button and your screen will automatically be split into two, giving you the option to select another app to make use of the second portion of the screen..

But there’s a problem, this feature does not currently work on every app installed on your smart phone, but there’s a way we’ve gotten around it, and we already wrote a comprehensive post on How To Setup and Use The Split-Screen Feature On Infinix Phones For Non-Supported Apps.
