Furthermore, it includes the Privacy Flairs feature that displays the type of permissions presently used by a certain application at the top corner. In addition to that, it also detects if there is any dubious activity operating in the background. This feature introduces a new animation in which the app’s icon for the type of permission it presently holds is displayed before changing to a dot.

File Manager & Android Security Patch:

You can manage data, docs, photographs, videos, apps, files, and folders with the Xiaomi MIUI firmware file manager. In addition to that, you will also be able to browse more files in the Recents section of the Mi phone with the MIUI 13.5 update. Moreover, the Android Security Patch has been updated to make your Mi phone secure from harmful apps and viruses and to aid in preventing data theft.

The sidebar and chat bubbles are two additional improvements for the Xiaomi MIUI 13.5 version. A new horizontal style has been added for editing and adding app shortcuts to the sidebar.
