Tests for MIUI 12.5 commenced today, according to the announcement made by Xiaomi. The closed Beta version will be suspended for a time starting from 12.14 in order for engineers to better concentrate on this update.

New features in MIUI 12.5

Approximate location

MIUI 12.5 will protect your location privacy better. With the new feature added, you can notify the application of your approximate location, not your exact location. In this way, the application cannot follow you.

At power menu there are no new functions or features, the design has been improved.

The animation when folder and extracting the app has been improved.

New recents

The latest app style that changed with MIUI 10 is now customizable with MIUI 12.5! With the new update, you can revert to MIUI 9 style. With this feature, the foundation of a structure that allows you to fully interfere with MIUI was laid. With MIUI 12.5, you can use recent apps horizontally.
