How to Take Selfie with Fingerprint on Xiaomi Redmi Note 3

Are we able to take selfies using fingerprints in the Xiaomi smartphone? The answer is YES!. Yup! Maybe this is a question that sometimes arises when we use the Xiaomi smartphone that has a fingerprint feature built in the smartphone.

We do not need to pull up to the middle of the screen just to press the 'shoot' or photos while taking selfies. We just need to press the fingerprint scanner on the back of the smartphone, which is much easier than pressing the shoot button on the screen.

Can we take a photo on the main camera (back camera) using fingerprint?

The answer is YES!. Although the main reason of this feature is to take selfies easily, because of comfort and convenience factor, but this feature is fully operated on every shooting from any camera sides (front and back). So even when using the back camera, we still can take pictures using fingerprints.

How can I get this feature?

Perhaps more precisely to a 'requirement' instead of 'How'. To bring this feature is to use the operating system MIUI v7.2.5.0 or newer. With this operating system, features take pictures selfie with the fingerprint will be automatically added to the camera system in your Xiaomi smartphone.

How to use the fingerprint feature to photograph

Once you have the operating system (at least) MIUI 7.2.5.0 running, your camera will take a picture when your finger touches the same area as your fingerprint scanner to unlock the smartphone instantly.

There is no special way, you only need to open the camera features as always you want to take a photo, then touch (tap) fingerprint scanner with a finger that has been registered or used to unlock the phone, and kamerapun will automatically take pictures (photos) you.

In this way take selfie photos will be easier and more convenient. No need to use another finger to press the 'shot button'.

How to Check the operating system that running in your Xiaomi Smartphone?

If you are unsure of the operating system you are using, please check in advance. To find the operating system used by your Xiaomi smartphone is very easy, you just need to go to the >Settings >About Phone and then look at the MIUI version.

      Make sure that you already registered your fingerprint to your phone system (like unlocking). Mine also using MIUI 8.0.5.0 right now but have no problem with taking picture with fingerprint.

      I hope this information useful,
