How to Use Quick Ball (Floating Shortcut) on Xiaomi HyperOS
Quick Ball is Xiaomi HyperOS's built-in floating shortcut button — a small, translucent circle that stays on screen and lets you access up to 5 custom functions with a single tap. Here's how to use it.
How to Enable Quick Ball
- Go to Settings
- Tap Additional Settings
- Select Quick Ball
- Toggle "Use Quick Ball" to On
A small floating ball appears on the edge of your screen. Drag it anywhere on the screen to reposition it.
How to Configure Quick Ball Shortcuts
Tap the Quick Ball → tap the pencil/edit icon (or go to Settings > Additional Settings > Quick Ball > Select Shortcuts). You can assign up to 5 shortcuts from a list including:
- Home / Back / Recents
- Screenshot / Scrolling Screenshot
- Screen Recording
- Lock Screen
- Notification Shade
- App Switcher
- Volume Control
- Flashlight
- Launch a specific app
Quick Ball Behavior Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Auto-hide | Ball fades when not in use |
| Hide when idle | Disappears after a few seconds, reappears on tap |
| Always visible | Stays fully visible at all times |
| Transparency | Adjust opacity of the ball |
Who Should Use Quick Ball?
Quick Ball is especially useful for:
- Large phone users who struggle to reach the back button with one hand (Xiaomi 15 Ultra, Redmi Note 14 Pro+)
- Users with screen protectors that interfere with swipe gestures
- Accessibility users who want easier navigation
How to Disable Quick Ball
Settings → Additional Settings → Quick Ball → toggle off. The floating ball disappears immediately.
