What is EMUI 14.2 Live View feature?

EMUI 14.2 is full of surprising tools that can uplift the user experience at once, and one such is the Live View feature. It’s one of the most interesting features and reflects how Huawei made its EMUI more productive and amazing with the latest version.

As the name suggests, Live View gives users an instant glimpse of the ongoing services or app activities in real-time. Instead of opening an app again and again, you can enable this capability and get real-time information within seconds.

This smart feature appears in the upper left corner of the EMUI 14.2 device. It looks like a tiny capsule that will expand to a big rectangular tile for displaying full details. The feature also supports a few controls and functions to directly operate an app.

For instance, you can set a screen recorder and check its activity via the Live View feature. When enabled, the feature will show the screen recording time in the capsule.

Tapping this capsule will let you view the screen recording details in a tile or perform operations like pause/resume. Thus, users can control the respective activity without actually opening its application or looking for other settings on the device.

Still, if you want to open the app then you can touch any blank area of your smartphone’s screen. Doing so will immediately lead you to the corresponding app.

EMUI 14.2 Live View can be used to check food delivery app status, timer/alarms, taxi-hailing services, and more. Let’s find out how you can access this feature.
