Xiaomi Is Fixing Lock Screen Shortcut Issues in HyperOS 3!

Xiaomi has officially confirmed that a long-standing lock screen shortcut bug affecting some devices running HyperOS 3 and HyperOS 2.2 is now being fixed through upcoming system updates. This issue had frustrated many users who rely on quick-access tools like camera, voice recorder, and other shortcuts directly from the lock screen.

According to feedback shared on the Xiaomi Community, the problem has now been resolved internally, and the fix is being pushed gradually with newer HyperOS builds.

What Was the Lock Screen Shortcut Bug?

The issue affected the shortcut settings on the lock screen. Many users reported that:

• Shortcuts like voice recording or camera were properly enabled in settings
• But they failed to appear on the actual lock screen
• Even after restarting the device or reconfiguring the shortcuts, the bug persisted

This problem was seen on several Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices running HyperOS 3 and late HyperOS 2.2 builds, making it a widespread software-level issue rather than a device-specific fault.

Fix Confirmed in Upcoming HyperOS Updates

Xiaomi has now officially acknowledged the issue and confirmed that:

• The lock screen shortcut bug has been fixed internally
• The solution is being rolled out through new HyperOS update builds
• Users will receive the fix automatically with future OTA updates

This aligns with other recent HyperOS fixes, including:

• Random screen locking bug while opening apps
• Performance drops on early HyperOS 3 builds
• Broken system shortcut behaviors

Together, these fixes show that Xiaomi is actively polishing HyperOS 3 for long-term stability, especially after its rapid Android 16 rollout.

What Users Should Do Now

If you’re currently facing this lock screen shortcut issue:

• Make sure you keep checking for new system updates
• Avoid resetting your phone, as this is a software-side bug
• Once your device receives the next HyperOS patch, the shortcuts should start working normally without any manual fix

The confirmation of this fix is good news for users who depend on quick tools from the lock screen. With Xiaomi actively resolving bugs like random screen locking, shortcut failures, and performance instability, the overall HyperOS 3 experience is steadily becoming more stable and reliable.

We’ll keep you updated as soon as the fix reaches more devices through stable OTA updates.
