Make Annotations

You'll need to pair your stylus with your device before using this feature.

The Annotate feature allows you to make annotations anywhere on any screen and save the annotations together with related content.

Use your stylus to swipe inward from the upper right corner on the screen and select Annotate.

If you're using a HUAWEI M-Pencil (2nd generation or later), you can enable the Annotate feature by double-tapping the body of the stylus.

Before using this feature, go to Settings > Accessibility features > Stylus > Double-tap, enable Double-tap, and select Open shortcut menu.

With Annotate enabled, feel free to:
  • Make annotations: Use the stylus to make annotations on the screen. Your annotations will display above content in the app. When you are making annotations, you can swipe up to continue browsing content (requires support by the app) and use the stylus to make annotations anywhere.
  • Set the brush: When you use the Annotate feature for the first time, the ball-point pen will be used by default. You can touch the stylus toolbar and switch between different types of brushes and adjust the brush width and colour.
  • Write and edit: When you are making annotations, you can modify an annotation at any time. Touch the stylus toolbar and select Rubber to erase your handwriting or use Lasso to select part of the handwriting to copy, paste, delete, resize, and rotate it. You can also cancel or recover what you have edited.
  • Save annotations: After making an annotation, you can touch to save it as an image or a PDF file.
  • Share annotations: After making an annotation, you can touch to share it as an image or a PDF file.

In addition to the preceding basic functions, the Annotate feature also supports the smart shape feature for you to draw standard lines and graphics more conveniently. After you draw a graphic, you can hold down the stylus for between 0.5s and 1s for the graphic to become a standard shape.
