β¨ How to Customize Notification Effects on Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro | HyperOS Visual Alerts π‘
0Notification effects on your Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro (with HyperOS) provide visual feedback when new alerts arrive. These are often subtle animations, like the edges of your screen lighting up or other on-screen visuals, which are particularly noticeable when the screen is off or when the Always-On Display is active. This feature allows you to add a personalized touch to how your phone informs you of incoming notifications without always needing sound or vibration.
How to Find and Customize Notification Effects on Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro:
Open the Settings application on your Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro.
Scroll down and tap on Always-on display & Lock screen. (The exact wording might vary slightly, but it will generally relate to display and lock screen settings).
In this menu, look for an option labeled Notification effect, "Notification light up effect," "Animation," or similar phrasing related to visual alerts for notifications when the screen is off. Tap on it.
Some search results specifically mention finding "Notification effects" directly under a "Wallpaper" setting in some HyperOS versions, so if you don't see it immediately under "Always-on display & Lock screen," you might check there as well: open Settings, then tap Wallpaper, then look for Notification effects.
Once you tap on "Notification effect" (or its equivalent), you should see a list of available animation styles. Common options often include:
None: No special visual effect when a notification arrives.
Light up screen: The screen will simply wake up or illuminate briefly.
Pulse (often in different colors like Blue, Red): The edges of the screen will pulse with a soft light.
Starlight: Another type of animation, potentially involving more of the screen or a different pattern of light.
Other named animations.
Preview and Select an Effect:
Tap on each available effect in the list. Your phone will usually display a brief preview of what the animation looks like.
Choose the one you like the best.
Apply the Effect:
Once you've selected your preferred notification effect, there usually isn't a separate "Apply" or "Save" button on this particular screen. Simply selecting the effect often sets it as the new default. You can then navigate back out of the settings.
Things to Keep in Mind About Notification Effects:
Screen State: These effects are primarily designed to be visible when your screen is off or when the Always-On Display is active. If your screen is already on and unlocked, you might not see these specific animations, as you'll receive the standard notification pop-up or status bar icon.
Always-On Display Interaction: If you use the Always-On Display, the notification effect will often complement it by drawing your attention to a new alert without you having to fully wake the screen.
Battery Consumption: While generally subtle, any screen animation or lighting effect will consume a small amount of battery. However, for most users, the impact of these notification effects is minimal.
Specific App Notifications vs. General Effects: The settings described here are typically for the general visual effect when any notification arrives. Individual apps might have their own notification settings (like notification light color if your phone had a dedicated LED, or specific sound alerts), but these screen lighting effects are usually system-wide.
Flash Notifications: Separate from these screen edge lighting effects, your phone might also offer "Flash notifications" under Accessibility settings. This feature can make the camera LED flash for incoming calls or notifications, which is a different type of visual alert.
π‘ Important Note:
β Experiment with the different available effects to see which one you find most appealing and useful for catching your attention when new notifications arrive.
β The exact names and availability of specific animation styles can sometimes vary slightly with HyperOS updates, but the general path to find them under "Always-on display & Lock screen" or "Wallpaper" settings should remain consistent.
