Ships with EMUI 8.2 (Android 8.1) with Google services; install the EMUI 10 (Android 10) update first. No built-in gesture or key opens a chosen app on EMUI 10 / Magic UI 3: knuckle gestures (where present) only take screenshots, record the screen or split the screen, and double-pressing Volume down only takes a photo. JSN-AL00, JSN-AL00a and JSN-TL00 are the China models. JSN-L21, JSN-L22 and JSN-L23 are also used by the Honor 9X Lite, so confirm the detected model.

Recommended presets

  • Shake ×3Sends a signal

    Three sharp shakes within 2.5 s: hard to do by accident, easy to do without looking.

    Shake ×3, 0.15–1 s apart · whole gesture within 2.5 s

  • Widget ×2Sends a signal

    Two taps on the home-screen widget within 3 s; a single accidental tap does nothing.

    Widget ×2, 0.1–3 s apart · whole gesture within 3 s

Gestures are set up in the phone settings as shown, then combined into a trigger recipe in the app, where practice mode shows step by step whether a gesture would trigger.
