Xiaomi‘s MIUI was the most simple one in the earlier days of Android but recently this is the most messed up UI for Android smartphones. There are a lot of things to talk about but one problem which we all face is with the swipe up gesture in MIUI. This feature triggers the MIUI’s own browser instead of opening the app drawer. This feature draws app drawer on literally all smartphones but Xiaomi has something else in mind and hasn’t fixed it yet. There is an option in settings to disable this but it’s only available in recent builds of MIUI. We have a solution for both versions of MIUI whether it is the latest or not.
