List of safety features
Huawei phones come with a series of built-in security measures to keep your data secure.
Full-disk encryption
All data on the memory chipset is automatically encrypted. Each
phone has a different security key, meaning that other devices
cannot access the data stored on your phone's memory chipset.
Fingerprint
recognition
Your phone comes with a fingerprint sensor to give you quick and
easy access to your phone's features. For example, you can use
your fingerprint to unlock the screen, access files in your Safe,
open locked applications, and more. For more information, see
Using fingerprint recognition.
Harassment filter Use the harassment filter in Phone Manager to block spam calls
and messages. For more information, see Harassment filter.
App Lock
Use the App Lock in Phone Manager to lock applications and
prevent unauthorized access. The App Lock password is required
to open locked applications.
Managing data
usage
Use the data management feature in Phone Manager to keep track
of your mobile data usage. Mobile data will be automatically
disabled when you exceed the preset limit to prevent you from
incurring excessive data charges. For more information, see
Managing data usage.
Safe
Enable the Safe feature, set a password, and then add your
confidential files to prevent unauthorized access. For more
information, see Storing private files in a safe.
SIM lock
Set a SIM card PIN to protect the data stored on your SIM card. If
you have enabled PIN protection for your SIM card, you will need
to enter the PIN each time you turn on your phone or insert the
SIM card into another phone. For more information, see Setting
your SIM card PIN.
Screen unlock
method
Choose from a range of screen unlock methods to prevent
unauthorized access to your phone. For more information, see
