Huawei rolling out HarmonyOS NEXT.0.0.72 beta with One-Tap lock screen feature

Huawei has released HarmonyOS NEXT.0.0.72 software update for public beta smartphones with new features.

Huawei has been testing public beta with unlimited user slots since October 8 and registered recently released flagship devices for early beta recruitment. That includes the Huawei Mate 60 series, Pura 70 series, Mate X5, and more.

This operating system for smartphones brings numerous new changes and optimizations. The control center has optimized the buttons and provides fast interactions on every switch. The visibility of the control center is also improved compared to HarmonyOS.

The new HarmonyOS NEXT.0.0.72 version has a downloadable package size of 1.1GB. It has added a new one-tap lock screen service button. This will allow you to lock the smartphone with one click after adding it to the home screen.

You need to press the phone’s side button or wait for the screen time out to lock the device. However, if the feature works exactly according to its name, it would be a useful addition for HarmonyOS NEXT users.

This upgrade has a new slider bar with a shape progress bar to show the intensity of the brightness or system sound settings. The icon changes dynamics based on the volume or brightness level.

Huawei said the new change will make the control panel more intuitive and visible to the eyes. Additionally, the update will optimize some UI settings for display to improve the viewing experience.

Last but not least, the company has enabled a drag and reposition feature for the lock screen. This will allow you to reposition the clock on the lock screen and place it anywhere.
