![]() Also, a number of options now have their icons placed inside boxes, making them more distinct. The Settings menu in MIUI 14 is also subtly different from its counterpart on MIUI 13. It is not just the Add Widgets which has got a cleanup. We think we will be using widgets far more often on this interface. With MIUI 14, Xiaomi has jazzed up the whole widget scenario with larger and more colorful icons and far more readable fonts, giving you a much better preview of what widgets are actually like. The problem in the past, however, was that picking widgets was a bit difficult from the crowd of options and that the whole ‘Add Widget’ interface was rather dull, with rather small icons and fonts. ![]() Widgets are one of the USPs of the Android platform. All you need to do is activate the option by long pressing on any folder and choosing “Enlarged.” You will not only get a larger folder icon, but three of the apps within it will be large enough to be activated directly by tapping on them right there, without even having to open the folder! MIUI 14: A much more vivid and colorful Widget menu MIUI 14 has made this even simpler by introducing Enlarged Folders. Finding your app is as simple as tapping the folder to open it and selecting the app from it. So you could have a folder that contains all your music apps, another for your social network apps, yet another for games, and so on.

Also, unlike in MIUI 13, where you could only reduce the size of an app launched from the sidebar to a smaller window, in MIUI 14, you can actually make it an icon and park it in the corner of the display. In MIUI 14, we found ourselves being able to open more apps and, at one stage, had four apps in all on one window – one being a main video and three others (Note, Calculator, and Twitter) having been launched from the Sidebar. Now, in MIUI 13, you could, at the most, open one app using the Sidebar on top of the already running one. It is a super quick launching option and a handy feature for multitaskers who like to have many apps open. The app then opens a window that you can move around, resize and keep an eye on even while doing something else. Tapping on it reveals all the apps in a thin strip, allowing you to launch any app, no matter what is on your screen at the moment. As its name indicates, it is a bar that floats on the side (generally to the left) of the display. The Sidebar has been a part of MIUI for a while now. It works very swiftly and gives you the option to edit the text (to fix any rough patches or misreads), copy it, send it to Notes, or share it on social media. Just open the picture with text in it, and choose the ‘Recognise Text’ option from the menu. You do not need any network connectivity either. MIUI 14 joins the likes of One UI and iOS in identifying text in images in the gallery itself. MIUI 14: Gallery app can now recognize text We have been trying out MIUI on both the new Xiaomi 13 Pro as well as on its predecessor, the Xiaomi 12 Pro, for the past two weeks, and these are seven new features that definitely grab attention: RAM and storage usage also is believed to have been optimized, but those changes will become evident only in the long run. There are routine claims of subtle UI improvements, smoother animations, and faster operations. MIUI 14 comes with a number of new features and fixes (and new wallpapers). The new software is available on a limited number of devices at the time of writing but is scheduled to roll out to most of Xiaomi’s current and recent portfolio in the coming months. The skin has been heavily criticized in the past for having too much bloatware and ads, but Xiaomi has been working on ironing out these rough edges and claims that MIUI 14 is the cleanest and most efficient version of the software yet. ![]() Still, the recent Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona also saw Xiaomi take the wraps off the global version of the latest variant of its Android interface, MIUI 14. The Xiaomi 13 series might have grabbed more headlines.
