Are you new? Xiaomi and Android control buttons Are they driving you crazy? You are not alone. It also happens to those of us who use normal Xiaomi phones, and whoever says Xiaomi says Redmi or Poco, it doesn’t matter. But it’s very easy to solve, so let’s get to it.

Of course, the layout of the buttons on Xiaomi smartphones will not bother those who have only used devices of this brand, from some other that configures it in the same way, such as Samsung itself (if so) or from those who prefer this way.

Of course, if you don’t like to delve into the system options, you can be overwhelmed with so many modifications, you will look for it on the Internet… And you will find it, among many other places, here. Depending on your phone model, the route may vary, but here’s how to get there safely:

Go to Settings and find “invert buttons”, uncheck that option in fact and you already should.
