MIUI 12 beta update adds full-screen gesture support to the camera app

At the Mi 10 Youth Edition launch event in China at the end of last month, Xiaomi officially announced MIUI 12. During the event, Xiaomi detailed some of the new features introduced in the latest software update, including new animations, gestures of navigation, live wallpapers, privacy features and much more. Soon after, Tushar from our team managed to flash the MIUI 12 China Beta ROM on a Redmi K20 Pro and crafted some of the most exciting features from the launch. Since then, Xiaomi has released similar closed beta versions of MIUI 12 for various devices and has rolled out a few updates introducing even more new features, including full-screen gesture support for the MIUI Camera app.

XDA Tipster first discovered new full-screen gesture support in MIUI Camera app kacskrz And Tushar was able to test it on his Redmi K20 Pro. Gesture support essentially gives you an easier way to access additional modes and settings in the MIUI Camera app. With the update, the app now gives users access to two different UI options: a tab-based UI and a panel-based UI. In the tab-based user interface, you can swipe from right to left to display all the additional modes available in the MIUI Camera app. You can also swipe down on the viewfinder to bring up all the camera settings.

On the other hand, in the panel-based user interface, you can swipe up to open the additional modes panel and swipe down to access the camera settings. Along with that, there is another gesture that you can use to exit the edit screen that allows you to choose all of the modes that are displayed on the home screen of the camera app.

As you can see in the video above, once you have finished rearranging the modes, you can swipe down anywhere on the screen to return to the viewfinder. The updated MIUI Camera APK that includes support for these gestures is included in the MIUI 12 builds that were released after the May 11 builds listed in our index. It is also worth noting that these camera gestures will also be coming to Xiaomi.eu versions in the near future.
