Lastly, users can now choose to see floating windows for incoming calls while gaming.
Aside from the new features, the update has also introduced a redesigned start page in the Mi Cloud app, as per user reports. Also, a tonne of other software issues such as incorrect notification badges, absence of low battery warning while the device was being used in landscape mode, and call bubble overlapping with the notification icons have been fixed.
