What is a Media Controller?

It is generally a feature located in the Control Center of a device and eases the access to audio playback. Users can manage several music-related operations from the Control Center, without entering or opening the main music application.

Huawei has given a new makeover to the Media Controller with the EMUI 14.2 upgrade. Even though the appearance is similar to the 13th software version, it now brings better controls, more fluency, and quick task completion abilities on board.

The new Media Controller enables users to easily adjust the audio or music progress. They can quickly switch between applications or handle the audio playback. All it requires is a Huawei phone running on the EMUI 14 or later software builds.
