Honor is pushing out a major MagicOS 10 update (version 10.0.0.116) to the Magic5 lineup, bringing a fresh look and a surprising new trick: iPhone notification syncing. The update is just under 1GB and is already rolling out to users.
One of the first things you’ll notice is the new transparent app icons. You can toggle them in Settings > Desktop & Personalization > Icons > Transparent Icons for a cleaner, glass-like home screen. The notification and control centers also get refreshed with real-time blur effects that shift depending on your wallpaper.
The standout addition, though, is cross-platform notification sharing. With the latest Honor Connect app installed on an iPhone, Magic5 users can now see iPhone notifications directly on their phone. Pairing is done by scanning a QR code from Settings > Smart Connect > Connect with iPhone.
There are a bunch of smaller improvements too:
- Better support for landscape floating windows in more apps
- Double-press Volume Down (with screen off) to ring or silence the phone
- View saved Wi-Fi passwords and disconnect networks in WLAN settings
- A new animated badge for Live Photos in Honor Share
Honor says the update also fixes breath-to-wake issues, some random app crashes, and a handful of performance bugs to keep the system running smoother.
Even though the Magic5 series is the last Honor flagship range still tied to Huawei’s ecosystem services like MeeTime and Cloud Space, it’s still getting meaningful new features. More upgrades — including new charging options and improved frame stabilization — are already planned.
Magic5 series owners should see the update prompt soon, giving Honor’s 2023 flagships a nice refresh heading into 2025.
