HarmonyOS 4.2 Update Includes Feature to Block ‘Shake to Jump Ads’ in Latest Release

HarmonyOS will be separated from Android, and a large number of applications are developing specific versions for Hongmeng, and the system software will be constantly updated. In the latest HarmonyOS 4.2 update there is an update that surprises Chinese users, namely the addition of the “Shake to jump ads” blocking function: the advertising page will not open automatically after shaking the phone.

When a cell phone displays a full-page ad, most people press the “X” button to close it, but in case you really want to see the ad, usually just click on the page. However, in mainland China, many apps use the “shake to ad” method: after the user shakes the phone, the ad page opens automatically. The problem is that the sensitivity of many advertisements is set very low: even if the cell phone vibrates slightly, the advertisement will open automatically. Some people who are not familiar with how cell phones work even misunderstand that there is a problem with their cell phones. This method of skipping pages has become a major issue of social concern in mainland China.

It is said that Apple will ban the “shake to switch to ads” application method. In the HarmonyOS 4.2 update, the “shake redirect block” feature was added, solving a problem that has plagued users for many years. According to Chinese media outlet “Quick Technology”, HarmonyOS had actually already been added to the trial version 4.0.0.200, but was not mentioned in the update log at that time.

HarmonyOS 4.2 is now recruiting public beta participants and can be installed on all Huawei phones in the photo. In mainland China, users can click “Upgrade Early Adopter” on the “My Huawei” page to register and qualify for the upgrade immediately.
