Xiaomi has recently launched Redmi Note 11 and Redmi Note 11 Pro. So without wasting any time today I am going to share which you the latest Redmi Note 11 Pro Tips and Tricks.

Redmi Note 11 Pro Tips and Tricks

#1. Use the app drawer to organize apps

You can have all your apps in a dedicated space (app drawer) and display only frequently used apps on your home screen.

1. Go to Settings > Home screen > Home screen.
2. Select With App drawer.

#2. Long tap the buttons on the Control center/toggle panel to access their settings

On either the toggle panel or Control center, you can long tap a button to access its settings directly. For example, long-tapping the Bluetooth button will open the Bluetooth settings screen.

#3. Use gesture controls

The Redmi Note 10 Pro includes gesture controls for navigating around the entire interface, giving you the option to hide the navigation bar permanently. To use gesture controls, simply head over to Settings > Home screen > System navigation and select Gestures. You should get a prompt to learn what gestures you can perform, and it’s good that you tap Learn to practice all the gestures: Go to the home screen, open recent apps view, go back, etc.

#4. Switch between apps quickly

If you’re using the navigation buttons, you can jump back and forth between two apps instantaneously by just double-tapping the Recent button.

If you’re using the full-screen gestures, swipe up from the bottom of the screen, then swipe left or right.

#5. Double-tap or lift the phone to wake the screen

You don’t have to reach for that power button just to wake your phone because you can do it by double-tapping the screen or as easy as just lifting your phone.

1. Go to Settings > Always-on display & Lock screen.
2. Turn on Double tap screen to wake or turn off screen or Raise to wake.

#6. Move and uninstall multiple apps in one go

Instead of moving or uninstalling apps one by one, you can select multiple apps to do it at once.

Pinch a home screen, and you’ll see a grey bubble on top of each app icon. Select the apps by tapping their icons. You can now tap and drag them to a screen thumbnail at the bottom of the screen for moving, or tap and drag them to Uninstall at the top of the screen for uninstalling.

#7. Access the hardware test menu

If you wish to test out your phone hardware, use either one of these methods to access the hardware test menu.

1. Enter *#*#6484#*#* on the dial pad.
2. Go to your device’s Settings > About phone > All specs, and tap on the Kernel version 5 times.

#8. Make use of the built-in unit conversion tool

The Mi calculator has built-in unit conversions that can convert everything from currency and mortgage to length measurements to temperature and speed.

In the calculator app, you can switch between the tabs at the top part of the screen to find all the units.

#9. Use the fingerprint sensor to perform other actions

Actually, the fingerprint sensor (also the Power button) can do more than just reading your fingerprints. Double pressing or tapping it can help you to launch certain apps (eg. Google Assistant, camera, calculator, etc.) or perform certain actions (eg. open the Control center, put your phone in silent mode, etc.) The options are available in Settings > Additional settings > Gesture shortcuts > Double-tap fingerprint sensor / Turn on torch / Launch camera / Launch Google Assistant

#10. Turn on the torch quickly

Sure, you can open the Control center from the top of the screen and tap the Torch button for a flashlight to find things in the dark. But if you’re looking for a faster way, you can set it to turn the light on by double-pressing the power button (as mentioned briefly in the tip above). Follow the steps here to make this work:

1. Go to Settings >> Additional settings >> Gesture shortcuts >> Turn on torch
2. Turn on the Double press the Power button option.
3. Now, you can just double press the Power button to toggle the flashlight on and off.

#11. Take screenshots with a three-finger swipe

If taking screenshots using the traditional way of pressing the Power button and Volume down button is too cumbersome for you, use the Three-finger screenshot feature.

1. Go to Settings >> Additional settings >> Gesture shortcuts >> Take a screenshot, and make sure the Slide 3 fingers down option is turned on.
2. Now, you can swipe down using 3 fingers to capture screenshots quickly

#12. Take partial screenshots

If you need to capture only a specific part of the screen, here’s how:

1. Go to Settings > Additional settings > Gesture shortcuts > Partial screenshot and make sure the Press and hold with 3 fingers option is turned on.
2. After that, you can long tap the screen with 3 fingers and draw an outline around the part of the screen that you want to capture.
3. Once it’s done, you can drag the frame to change the size of the captured area or select a shape icon to change the shape of the partial screenshot.
4. Lastly, tap Save.

#13. Auto delete screenshots after sharing

Every time you capture a screenshot and share it with your friends, you probably forget to delete it. To overcome this, you can select the Delete after sharing option to have the screenshot automatically sent to the trash bin right after sharing.

#14. Turn on Ultra battery saver

To keep your phone from dying when you’re not near a charger, turn on Ultra battery saver. This mode will restrict most power-consuming features and decrease your phone’s performance to leave basic communication functionality.

1. Go to Settings > Battery, and turn on Ultra battery saver.

#15. Use Lite mode/Simple mode for beginners or seniors

If you need a larger size of all the elements (icons, text, etc.) on the screen for easy navigation, turn on Lite mode

1. Go to Settings > Special features > Lite mode
2. Tap Turn on Lite mode.
3. To get back to normal mode, simply follow Step 1.

#16. Open multiple apps at the same time

You can run multiple apps on the current screen at the same time using one of these two methods.

With this mode, you can use two apps at the same time, and they will be displayed side by side.

1. Go to the recent apps view.
2. Long tap the thumbnail of the first app you want to be in the split-screen, and select the Split-screen button.
3. You can then open another app at the lower half of the screen (or on the right half if your phone is in landscape orientation).

ii. Floating windows

With this mode, you can have an app floating anywhere on top of the current app that you’re using.

1. While using an app, you can go to the recent apps view.
2. Tap Floating windows in the upper left corner, and pick the app you want to float on top of the current.

Tip: For Step 2, you can also long-tap an app thumbnail and select the Floating windows icon to make it float.

#17. Create a separate space for guests or work

You can create a totally separate workspace within your phone with the Second space feature. The whole separate space will have separate emails, apps, photos, wallpapers, and passwords.

So, if you want to share your phone with a family member or simply want a separate space for guests, just head over to Settings > Special features > Second space to turn on this feature, and follow the on-screen instructions to set a password.
