Volume keys shortcut for accesibility feature

We can enable a shortcut of the operating aids on the Huawei smartphone to get quick access to a feature, such as TalkBack or colour correction. To do this, we press both volume buttons for three seconds. We can determine whether this function is already allowed on the lock screen.
