Xiaomi is known for introducing changes in the MIUI weekly beta builds. Ahead of MIUI 13 announcement, the beta channel is getting revamped with a design overhaul, new features, and removals. Let’s take a look at the changes in the latest MIUI Beta 21.12.4 release.

According to Xiaomiui, Xiaomi has removed a couple of things, added a dyad of new features, and made changes to an existing feature in the MIUI Beta 21.12.4 build.

Removal of Screen On Time and Weather Super Wallpaper

First and foremost, the latest MIUI Beta release no longer has an option to check screen on time (SOT). For those unaware, Google removed this feature with Android 12.

MIUI 13 Screen On Time SOT

Hence, Xiaomi appears to be following the footsteps of the search giant. As of now, this change is only applicable to devices running Android 12-based MIUI builds.

Users will have to use any third-party application of their choice to check SOT information.

MIUI 13 Weather Super Wallpaper

Interestingly, the Chinese tech giant has also removed the Weather Super Wallpaper, which was added in January. It goes away even by installing version V3.0.1.0 of the MIUI Weather app.

Document Watermark and Mi Drive in File Manager

The MIUI camera app gets a watermark option while scanning documents. Using this feature, users can protect their important documents from unauthorized copying.

Further, users can now directly access their files from Xiaomi Cloud inside the MIUI file manager application itself. This is possible because of a new MiDrive shortcut in the app.

Low Battery Level Reduced

Finally, Xiaomi has reduced low battery level warning in MIUI from 30% to 15%. Previously, it would require at least 30% battery to install a system. But now, with the new change, only 15% is enough.

We expect Xiaomi to introduce even more changes ahead of MIUI 13 official release in the coming weeks.
