Technology takes giant steps every day but at the same time makes us more and more subject to addiction, just think of the smartphone, an object now inseparable and which too often accompanies our days, from waking up to when we go to sleep, so much so that it is placed next to it to us even while it is charging. The various OEMs of mobile telephony have also noticed this, so much so as to include in their software the modes which, once activated, inhibit the use of the smartphone for the time set for this function.
Among the most famous we find the OnePlus ZEN mode but also other smartphone manufacturers have followed the example as OPPO and also Xiaomi that at least on the Chinese ROMs MIUI 11 has inserted the so-called Concentration Mode. For those who do not know it, this mode allows you to focus on a certain situation, preventing our smartphone from becoming a distraction, disabling all notifications and blocking the use of the terminal almost completely, if not for making calls.
Here's how to activate the concentration mode on your Xiaomi / Redmi with MIUI 11 Global
However, it will not be possible to interrupt the Concentration Mode, so before activating it, be sure that you really want to purify yourself from the addiction of your smartphone. In any case, as mentioned above, this function is specific for Chinese ROMs based on MIUI 11, but from today with a small escamotagè it will be possible to use it also for us Western users, therefore equipped with MIUI 11 Global. What we have to do is simply install a completely free and secure app available on the Google Play Store.
So if you are convinced to abandon your smartphone for a while, follow these simple steps:
- Download Activity Launcher on our smartphone.
- Once the app is installed, open it and in the search bar located at the top look for the item UsageStatsMainActivity.
- Once you find the process, click on it.
- A new screen will open called Active Screen where you will have to accept the required permissions.
- Now you will notice that Concentration Mode is already available.
To avoid having to go through this process every time, you can create a shortcut on the smartphone Home. To do this, click on the gear icon in the Active Screen and then from the menu that appears click on Create. Now you just have to relax, but remember once you are active again to visit all our social channels and blogs.
