The latest version of the popular Xiaomi layer is MIUI 12 and with it among all the changes that we have seen, the notification panel and the shortcuts have taken a great face lift. That great resemblance to Android is already behind us to take some inspiration from iOS, the operating system of Apple’s iPhone. We are going to tell you how this section changes in Xiaomi and the ways to take advantage of it.
Although some of the changes that have arrived with MIUI 12 are different between some mobiles and others, the firm has not done that with the MIUI 12 control and access center . It does not matter if our mobile is an entry-level, mid-range or top-of-the-range range because in any of the cases we will be able to take advantage of it that we are going to know below.
Access the Xiaomi control center
The first thing that catches your attention when starting to use MIUI 12 and its new control center is that now the gestures are different to use each of the sections. If we slide our finger on the right side of the screen we will access the quick controls, something that before we had to achieve by sliding the screen twice and going through the notifications first.
The sections from left to right have disappeared in MIUI 12 and has given way to shortcuts that expand if we slide down. We can have up to 21 shortcuts, counting on the 4 main ones that appear at the top of the screen: mobile data, WiFi, Bluetooth and flashlight.
How to see notifications in MIUI 12
When we start to use MIUI 12 for the first time, it is likely that we find it difficult to know how to consult, view and access notifications on Xiaomi . This is because only the left part of the screen allows us to swipe from above to see the notitions. It will be a matter of getting used to it so that it becomes as easy and simple as before.
At this point, the changes focus on maintaining the semi-transparency of the background and the cards themselves. In them we will be able to continue responding quickly, archiving or doing those instant tasks that were already in MIUI 11. The gestures also continue, on the right we discard the notification and on the left we can postpone it or enter its settings so that it does not are repeated more.
Take advantage of shortcuts in MIUI 12
As the most innovative point, we have to take advantage of it and for this we have the possibility of personalizing the accesses . The main four will be fixed but all the others if we can change their position or replace them with others. To do this you just have to enter the control panel, touch the pencil in the upper right and proceed to do so.
Featured shortcuts also include quick settings for WiFi and Bluetooth . Holding them down opens a bubble that allows us to connect Bluetooth devices or change WiFi without having to enter the settings.
