Xiaomi recently announced that MIUI’s global monthly active user base has reached 564 million as of December 11, 2022. MIUI was first introduced in 2010 and has grown in popularity ever since. As the years passed, Xiaomi’s custom Android skin gained more users, and the new numbers prove it is one of the most popular Android-based software out there.
The announcement came during the MIUI 14 launch event. Xiaomi says in the past 12 years, MIUI has continued to promote the progress of the industry. It aims to further deepen the collaboration between software and hardware.
MIUI hit the 100 million mark back on August 19, 2015. Three years later, the brand quickly reached 200 million monthly active users globally. The number of MIUI global monthly active users surpassed 300 million a year later, on October 28, 2019. In early 2020, the active user count stood at 400 million. Last year, the MIUI active users crossed the 500 million mark.
The brand recently launched the latest version of MIUI— MIUI 14. The software debuts as the most optimized and streamlined version of MIUI to date and features an updated system architecture. Xiaomi says MIUI 14 runs 60% smoother compared to its predecessor.
The software comes with customizable folders with large icons and new widget options with various shapes and sizes. The company also introduced new home screen pets, which are basically animated characters that live on the home screen.
Privacy is also improved with no user data being stored in the cloud. All actions are performed locally on the device. The UI can now extract text from images and can also translate the text in the gallery images.
