Write with a Stylus
A stylus can perfectly capture the unique character of your writing style and make you feel as if you are writing or painting on paper. You can use it to take quick notes, perform standard touchscreen operations, such as taking screenshots, or use it with special apps for a more interactive and dynamic writing and drawing experience.
When using the stylus for the first time, open the stylus cap and insert the stylus into the charging port of your phone, then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the pairing.
The stylus can be connected to a maximum of four devices at the same time (depending on your device model).
The stylus will power Ñff if left inactive for a certain period of time. In this case, press the Smart key on the stylus or insert the stylus into your phone to resume the connection.
After pairing, you can:
• Quickly access Notepad: Press and hold the Smart key on the stylus, then tap the screen to quickly open Notepad.
• Capture screenshots: When the screen is on, press and hold the Smart key on the stylus, then tap the screen twice to take a screenshot, draw a closed shape to capture part of the screen, or draw an “S” to take a scrollshot.
• Learn more about the stylus: Go to Settings > Accessibility features > Stylus. You can also touch Firmware update to update the stylus firmware.
HUAWEI M-Pen 2 is not supported on all phone models.
