These are the most notable news of MIUI 11

We already know how to force the MIUI 11 update on our mobile, as long as it is compatible with the new version. But what is the user going to get with this new enhancement of Xiaomi's customization layer? Aim, that they are not few.

Even more minimalist interface

MIUI has always been characterized by being a somewhat motley and complex layer. This is on the way to ceasing to be like that and in the latest versions of MIUI, a simplification in the design has been chosen. Everything will be much simpler and cleaner, eliminating distractions and focusing everything on the user experience.

Less personalized ads on MIUI 11

Loud and clear: Xiaomi phones are so cheap because their layer is loaded with ads, especially in the applications developed by the brand itself such as 'Cleaning' or 'Security'. Well, MIUI 11 will allow the user to reduce the number of personalized ads that are displayed, simply by activating a switch. They will continue to appear but in less quantity so that the user experience is better.

An improved dark mode

Dark mode came to MIUI in version 10 of the layer and its implementation is improved in this version, adding more compatible applications. Specifically, the brand has not specified what it will consist of, so we will have to wait to see it in action.

New app drawer

We can finally stop using third-party launchers to obtain an application drawer in MIUI, being able to choose it with the MIUI 11 launcher itself.

New Ambient Display screens

What are Ambient Displays? Well, that small led screen that is always on, even if we have the terminal blocked, and in which the time and some notifications appear. In MIUI 11 new designs will appear, allowing the user to create their own designs.

'Digital Wellbeing' comes to Xiaomi phones with MIUI

Do you want to know how long you stay with your nose glued to your Xiaomi mobile? Are you sure? Well, with MIUI 11 you will have it very easy thanks to the appearance of the version of Google's ' Digital Wellbeing ' that the Chinese brand has created. Thanks to this tool you can limit the time you spend with a certain application.

New battery saver

Starting with MIUI 11 we can save even more battery.
