Xiaomi started rolling out HyperOS 4 Beta to its first set of devices starting today. Along with it came some rather bad news: the company also told miclaw beta testers that the AI agent will not work once they move to HyperOS 4.
The company sent an official notice today inviting current miclaw closed beta testers to try the HyperOS 4 Beta, which just opened for registration. But it also confirmed that the miclaw AI agent is not supported on the new software.
Xiaomi removes miclaw support in HyperOS 4
Here is how the process works. Once you register for the HyperOS 4 Beta through the miclaw testing program, Xiaomi pushes the update to your device automatically. You can check whether it has arrived by going to Settings, then My Device, then System Version Number. Installing the update removes you from the miclaw beta at the same time, so you cannot run both. If you want to keep using miclaw, Xiaomi says you need to stay on HyperOS 3.
This means testers who signed up specifically for miclaw have to choose one or the other for now. miclaw is built to go beyond a standard chatbot. Once you permit it, it reads your intent and carries out multi-step tasks across your phone’s apps and system tools. Losing that when you move to the new HyperOS 4 update is worth knowing before you upgrade.
Xiaomi has left the option open to change your mind. You can exit the HyperOS 4 Beta at any time by going to Xiaomi Community, then Official, then Internal Testing Center, then My Internal Testing, and selecting the exit option there. If you decide to join the beta again later, you can reapply from the same Internal Testing Center section whenever you want.
Xiaomi has not said when miclaw support might come to HyperOS 4. Both programs are still in early testing, so it is not unusual for one to lag behind the other, but for now, testers cannot use both features on the same phone.
