How to turn off the proximity sensor on an OPPO phone when you are having trouble

How to disable the proximity sensor on the HP OPPO header

Gadgetren – On a cell phone, the proximity sensor acts as a detector for changes in the distance of an object to that sensor, typically 1mm.

Usually the proximity sensor is only used to detect the presence of an object on the mobile phone. For example, when you receive a call and hold the phone to your ear, this sensor will automatically turn off the screen or lock it so it is inactive when the ear is touched.

But sometimes this sensor can be a problem when you are on a WhatsApp call or a video call as the screen automatically rests. This is sure to annoy you a little because it prevents you from seeing the other person.

Because of this, many OPPO smartphone users are curious how to turn off the proximity sensor for something. In fact, on Android under version 7 Nougat, this feature is still provided in the settings menu or in the application of the OPPO device.

Over time, the function to turn off sensors including proximity has been removed from the settings menu or application to ensure safety for users and not to arbitrarily disable the cell phone sensors as they are very important.

To do this, you need a third-party application that can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
