Realme phones, including models that might have been marketed under the “P3” name in some regions (though there isn’t an official Realme P3), typically offer a sidebar or assistive touch feature, often called a “floating window” or similar. The exact method to enable and use it might vary slightly depending on your Realme phone’s specific Android version and Realme UI version. However, the general steps are as follows:
How to Enable and Use the Realme Sidebar (or Assistive Touch/Floating Ball):
1. Locate the Setting: Open your phone’s Settings app. This is usually a gear-shaped icon in your app drawer or notification shade.
2. Find Accessibility or Convenience Tools: Look for a section related to Accessibility, Convenience Tools, Smart Sidebar, Smart Assistant, or something similarly named. The exact wording varies across Realme UI versions.
3. Enable the Sidebar/Assistive Ball: Within the accessibility or convenience tools section, you should find an option for a sidebar, floating ball, assistive touch, or a similar feature. Toggle the switch to enable it.
4. Customize (Optional): Once enabled, you can usually customize the sidebar/assistive ball:
* Position: Drag the ball to reposition it on the screen to your preferred location.
* Customization: You may be able to add or remove shortcuts, change the ball’s appearance (size, color, transparency), and adjust its sensitivity. This is often found in the same settings menu where you enabled the feature.
* Available Tools: The sidebar usually offers shortcuts to frequently used apps, settings (like brightness or volume), and actions (like screenshots or recording).
5. Using the Sidebar/Assistive Ball: Once configured, you can tap the ball to access the available shortcuts and tools. You may need to swipe or long-press to access certain options, depending on your phone’s settings.
If you can’t find the feature:
* Check your Realme UI version: Older versions of Realme UI might not have this feature.
* Update your software: Make sure your phone’s software is up to date. A software update might introduce or improve the assistive touch feature.
* Search within Settings: Use the search bar within the Settings app to search for terms like “sidebar,” “assistive touch,” “floating ball,” or “convenience tools.”
* Consult your phone’s manual: Your phone’s user manual should provide detailed instructions on enabling and using these features.
* Contact Realme Support: If you’re still unable to find the feature, contact Realme support for assistance.
Remember to replace “P3” with your actual Realme phone model if it differs, as the exact location and naming of features might vary slightly between models.
