If you have a Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO mobile, you can check that there are some functions similar to those that you can find in Apple mobiles, and one of them is that of the press back to quickly open apps or other features of the mobile.

With this option you can enjoy a new way of accessing the functions and applications of your Xiaomi mobile, and the best of all is that you can choose one action for double tap and one for triple tap.
This quick access can be especially useful if you’re using the phone without a case, as it performs better.
How to use the keys on the back in Xiaomi and POCO
Xiaomi also wanted to add to its mobiles the possibility of using the keys on the back of the mobile as direct access to functions such as activate the Google Assistant, which is very convenient to use in some cases: Here is how it is activated:
- Open Settings.
- Go to Additional Settings.
- Click Gesture shortcuts.
- Press Return Type.
In this section of the MIUI configuration you have the possibility to configure an action when you give two keys and another when you give three keys. These should be done on the back of the mobile, under the camera or any other place, but it is moderately centered.
Some of your available options are to take a screenshot, open control center or notification bar and even the Google Assistant, for quick access.
There are also more specific options, such as getting a log related to a problem that just happened. You can choose the one you want, and you will activate this option by giving two or three quick touches with your finger to the back of your mobile.
Unfortunately, it’s not a feature that works particularly quickly on all of the company’s mobile phones, as some work better and some don’t.
