MIUI Gets Face Unlock for App Lock To recollect, Xiaomi has been talking about bringing this face unlock support for app lock for a long time now on its Mi community page. Living up to the promise, Xiaomi is now rolling out the feature to MIUI for Poco. In the days to come, there could be chances that the feature will come to other Xiaomi Redmi and Mi phones. As the name suggests, the Face Unlock feature will help the Xiaomi phone users to unlock the locked apps by using their face. The feature will basically work similar to how a phone is unlocked using the face unlock feature. Currently, this feature is available on MIUI 10 Global Beta ROM and we expect it will roll out to the MIUI Global Stable ROM in the days to come. Xiaomi’s latest MIUI version is MIUI 10 which comes packed with several features like gestures, new recent menu, Android P-like Volume Slider and Notification Shade, Picture-in-Picture Mode, Autofill Support, AI Features, Improved Screen Recording, Manage Apps, Quick Pay shortcut in Quick Ball, MIUI Lab, among others. Recently Xiaomi has updated almost all its phones old and new to MIUI 10. Some reports suggest that Xiaomi is currently working on the next generation MIUI aka MIUI 11 to release in the upcoming months. Rumours suggest Xiaomi may release the final version of the MIUI 11 by July this year. MIUI 11 Development Already Started There’s no doubt that Xiaomi is very slow in rolling out software updates to its smartphones, but the best part is the Chinese company delivers the latest MIUI version to even four-year-old smartphones. Last month, Xiaomi officially confirmed that it has started the development of MIUI 11 and the official announcement along with features of the forthcoming MIUI version could be announced sometime later in March or April. As of now, there’s no update on which features will be introduced with MIUI 11. Xiaomi will surely be working to make the UI much more smarter and intuitive compared to MIUI 10.
