Realme: Turn Raise to Wake On or Off

If your Realme screen lights up every time you lift the phone off a table or pull it out of your pocket, the Raise to wake gesture is active. That constant wake-up can drain the battery faster and trigger false unlocks while the phone sits in a bag or pocket. The setting lives in the lock screen options and works independently from other wake gestures like double tap to wake.

Turn Raise to Wake On or Off auf Realme

Raise to wake relies on the phone's motion sensor to detect a lifting movement. Realme UI reads the change in orientation and turns on the display without needing the power button or a screen tap.

The gesture is separate from double tap to wake and from the always-on display. It only reacts to the phone being physically picked up, so it can trigger even when you just shift the phone on a table or pull it out of a pocket.

Frequent false triggers usually mean the sensor picks up movement that is not an actual lift, for example when the phone is in a moving bag. In that case, turning the gesture off avoids unnecessary wake-ups and saves a bit of battery.

To change the setting, open Tap on SettingsTap on Home screen & Lock screenEnable or disable Raise to wake. Toggle it on to wake the screen automatically when lifted, or off to require a manual power button press or tap instead.

Frequently asked questions
