Xiaomi Is Working on Android 11, iOS 14-like Back Tap Gestures in MIUI 12: Report

The feature will reportedly allow users to take a screenshot, turn on the torch, launch control centre, open notification shade, or launch the camera.

Xiaomi is working on a ‘back-tap' feature for MIUI, following Android and iOS, according to a report. Google and Apple have already shown a number of features they are working with in Android 11 and iOS14 respectively. One of the features is to initiate actions, like open camera, play/ pause music, take screenshots, toggle the flashlight, among others, by double and triple tapping on the back of the phone. It seems that Xiaomi has taken a cue from the US-based tech giants, and is reportedly working on a similar feature in MIUI 12.

The code of this feature was spotted by XDA Developers' tipster kacskrz in the latest beta build of MIUI 12. The tipster managed to access the settings of the feature but reports that it is not functional on the Redmi Note 7 yet. According to the screenshots shared by kacskrz, the feature supports two options: double tap and triple tap. Users will be able to choose one of the five options: take a screenshot, turn on torch, (launch) control centre, open notification shade, or launch the camera.

Xiaomi has already announced its plan to roll out MIUI 12, the next iteration of its Android-based interface, to 23 smartphones next month. The software rollout timetable has only been announced for Indonesia, and the company is yet to make any official statement about the roadmap in the Indian market. The Android 10-based MIUI 12 brings features like Ultra Battery Saver, upgraded Dark Mode, and App Drawer.

So, a fighter must be incredibly advanced to be any good on the modern battlefield.   Most f ighter jets in modern armies belong to the 4th generation. They are maneuverable, carry advanced radars and are extremely adaptable.  5 th generation fighter jets are the latest and the most advanced machines. Not only do they have stealth characteristics, they are also equipped with the latest avionics, data links and sensors.   But the latest equipment also carries a price to match.

These fighters belong to the. 4+ or 4.5 generation .  Therefore, AeroTime’s top 10 list is bas...
