Huawei's HarmonyOS 7 XiaoYi AI shortcut bar delayed to early November
AI summary
Huawei customer service told IT之家 that the XiaoYi AI shortcut bar in HarmonyOS 7, previously expected to reach users by late October, is now expected in early November and will be pushed out in batches by device model. The feature was previewed at the September 7 HarmonyOS 7 launch event, where official slides showed XiaoYi staying resident in the Dock at the bottom of the home screen once the AI shortcut bar is enabled. Huawei says tapping the bar lets users explore more AI services, and advises watching for system update prompts.
