Honor 7x - remove swipe down search function on home and lock screen

[znh]

Hi,

I'm not sure what it is called but hopefully someone can help!

When you swipe down on the home screens or lock screens, it opens the 'search' options, and shows app suggestions.

Is there a way to disable this feature?

It's very annoying, especially with accidental swipes and needing to make more of a conscious effort to avoid swiping down.

I've looked through settings and I can't seem to find an option to disable it.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

This is what happens when you swipe down.

Any ideas?

Does it do it with a sim card installed?

I'm not sure. I assume so but once I put the SIM I'll check and I'll update the thread.

Sorry for not replying sooner. It happens with the SIM card installed too. It's a part of the EMUI software - I'm guessing if there's no way to disable it in the settings, the other option would be to download a different launcher.
