The new MIUI Gallery app brings new edit functions, filters, text recognition to Xiaomi and Redmi phones
Xiaomi MIUI is one of the best Android skin out there, but that hasn’t stopped the company from improving. Early this year, the Chinese OEM launched the MIUI 12, which is the latest version of MIUI and is already working on the next one. While the MIUI 12 introduced lots of features, which includes new Animation, the next one will focus on improving that and will also add other new features.
Meanwhile, the company hasn’t finished improving the MIUI 12. They are now rolling a new MIUI gallery app that comes along with a feature to edit your pictures and videos. Interestingly, you can now rename photos and videos from the gallery app without going to the file manager. It also adds other features which include a new filter, watermarks, stickers, time function adapt, and text recognition function.
