A few weeks ago we told you how to dive into MIUI 13 with its tricks and functions, some first steps from the simplest to the most advanced to familiarize yourself with the ROM. Today we are going to tell you some of the most useful, but inconspicuous functions of Xiaomi mobiles.
MIUI comes with a lot of features, and several of them are not activated very intuitively. However, once you know them, we’re sure you’ll use them a few times a day, because they are as useful as they are curious.
MIUI 12 ALL NEWS and when can we INSTALL it
Partial screenshots
Partial screenshots are available on MIUI 13 and MIUI 12.5. However, for reasons known only to Xiaomi, are not active on most phones
- Open the Set Edit app
- Once the application is open, click on “Add a new parameter”.
- Now write this:
three_gesture_long_press
- Then write:
partial_screen_shot
With this, we tell the system that when you make a long press with three fingers, you activate partial captures. A very useful function to have screenshots cropped directly by us.
Capture the entire web or app
Continuing with the screenshots, there is a function that is quite visible, but which remains unknown since it does not encourage clicking on it. When you take a screenshot with your Xiaomi mobile, click on the ‘Drag’ button and see how a full capture of the website or app you are on begins to be taken.
We can stop at any time so that the capture ends where we want. This file will be heavier and longer than a normal photo, but it allows us to in a single image have much more content.
Program Do Not Disturb mode in detail and in seconds
Another fairly unknown trick in MIUI is that of schedule do not disturb mode from anywhere in the system. All you have to do is click on the three dots that appear above the volume bar. From here you can set do not disturb mode timera simple trick that can save you a few precious minutes.
Prevent apps from running in the background
MIUI likes to consume resources, and for this it is forced to kill background processes in order to save battery. If you don’t want this to happen, you have to long press any app in multitasking. A lock icon will appear, indicating that even if you clear multitasking, the app will still be “active”.
Boost your CPU in a second
And finally, a tip that we’ve already told you about and will refresh you again: activate the high performance mode with a simple touch. This is a somewhat hidden function inside the new Xiaomi Control Center.
You just need to open the control center and hit the edit button. Now you will find the shortcuts that you can add and among them is “performance mode”. Once you enable it, you will force the CPU to work more vigorously, and the performance of your Xiaomi will be higherin exchange for consuming a little more energy.
