Hidden MIUI features you may have missed
Optimize your device from the notification bar
Almost all Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO devices have a self-installed Security application. When you enter this application, there is an option that allows you to optimize your phone’s performance and also allows you to empty unnecessary data in the storage. Probably many users are aware of this feature. However, you can do all these operations with a single tap, without having to enter the application.
There is a hidden option that will allow you to show this feature in the notification bar by clicking on the Settings option in the upper right corner of the security app. In this way, you can quickly optimize your device by opening the notification tray with one move, without any hassle.
Prevent the volume from decreasing automatically
Under normal conditions, when you receive a notification while watching a video or listening to music on your phone; The content you consume is automatically muted. This will become quite annoying, especially if you are someone who receives a lot of notifications during the day. But thanks to this MIUI feature, you can take control of multiple sound sources. You can control the volume of notifications while watching a video by going to the Sound and vibration section from the Settings page.
Timed ‘do not disturb’ mode
In addition to standard use, the MIUI interface has vibration and mute modes. But unlike other interfaces, Xiaomi has a mode called do not disturb. The feature of this mode is that it automatically mutes all incoming calls, messages and other notifications… It draws attention by practically blocking all functions that will distract you.
This mode, which many users, especially students, consult from time to time, has a small hidden feature. Because many users forgot to enable do not disturb mode, the company developed a scheduling feature. While activating the mode, it is possible to automatically set when you want it to turn itself off.
Restrict internet access of any app you want
Even though we are not aware of it, many mobile applications are secretly consuming our internet. Maybe this is the main reason for the high data consumption you notice at the end of the month. To prevent this, Xiaomi phones have a feature that allows you to restrict the internet access of an application you want. Thanks to this function on the Settings page, you can have the chance to use the application you want only with Wi-Fi. In this way, you can save a significant amount of data consumption.
Mute calls by turning your phone over
One of the most interesting hidden gems in Xiaomi phones is the mute function by turning your device upside down. When you receive a call on your phone lying on the table, you can mute the call and prevent noise by simply turning the device over. In addition, it prevents the notification light from turning on and you can also stop the vibration. To do this, it will be enough to go to the Settings page of your phone, click on the Incoming calls option, and mark the text to mute the call.
