The Honor FlyPods Pro was announced alongside the Honor Magic 2 back in October. The wireless earbuds which share the same design with the Huawei FreeBuds 2 packs interesting features including one that lets you use your voice to unlock your phone and make payments.

The feature is called Bone ID and it uses bone conduction technology to match the pattern of the voice of the user. Apparently, each person has a unique bone sound pattern and with Bone ID, owners can simply use their voice to unlock their phone or authorize payment transactions just as you would do with Touch ID or Face ID.

The feature wasn’t available right out of the box but a new update rolling out to the Honor Magic 2 activates the feature. The update brings the phone’s version to B150 which brings the feature to the phone thus allowing owners to set up Bone ID on their device. The Bone ID settings can be found under Security and Privacy under the main settings. All you have to do is follow the instructions.

When done, you will be able to unlock the phone by saying “Hello YOYO”. YOYO is the voice assistant for the Magic 2 and it is also available on the FlyPods Pro. You will also be able to use Bone ID to make payments on WeChat and AliPay.

The Honor FlyPods Pro is available on GizTop for $179.99 and comes in Charm Red and Lily of the Valley White.
