I would knock like crazy. MIUI 12 charms with a long-awaited feature

A new feature has been found in the MIUI 12 code, which is still rare in smartphones. Perhaps soon Xiaomi phones will offer the ability to perform gestures on the back panel, which you can configure yourself.

MIUI 12 is already the best thing that has happened to the Xiaomi overlay since its inception. Everything is prettier and better organized, and the list of useful functions is growing. Soon, a new solution will be added to the Xiaomi software, which is just in its infancy in the Android world.

Tap back to undo

Gestures are cool, period. Android resisted such control for quite a long time, stubbornly staying with the function buttons. Manufacturers have tried different ways - downloading the notification bar by gesture on the reader on the rear panel, as well as sliding your finger on the scanner on the front. Android 10 is already native support for convenient gestures, but it can be even better.

iPhones and Pixels offer a very intuitive and convenient function of tapping on the back panel, which duplicates the "undo" gesture. A similar solution is being prepared by Xiaomi, which in MIUI 12 will allow you to set the action for double and triple taps on the back of the housing. Turning on the camera, taking a screenshot, turning on the flashlight - perhaps these and many others will be able to be activated after the next update.

At this stage, it is not clear if the feature will be widely available on all models updated to MIUI 12. We know that some of them are limited to a selected group of devices - read more about it below.

MIUI 12: for whom and what's new?

Let's start with the fact that the list of smartphones updated to MIUI 12 (or waiting for an update) is substantial. You just have to remember that not all of the new features will find their way to every model. Here you will find a division into those that will receive all the news and those that will get a slightly truncated version.

What can you count on? For example, great live wallpapers (check how to install them on every Android smartphone), new animations and icons, a refreshed interface design, floating windows (programs in the form of pop-ups), a new power saving mode, a dark theme available on all apps or the app drawer. There's a lot of it.
