About MIUI System Launcher

MIUI’s official system launcher did not have the app drawer option previously. It lacked a number of home screen settings on the Xiaomi and Redmi phones. In November 2019, Xiaomi officially added the app drawer support but made it limited to the MIUI Chinese ROM only. The Global MIUI users did not get it at that time.

However, in early 2020, Xiaomi rolled out the same support for Global users too. The feature, however, does not appear in the Xiaomi or Redmi phones out of the box. It is a part of the newest version of the MIUI System Launcher. Thankfully, the official APK of MIUI Launcher is widely available and you can install it on your phone within a second. This is not a third-party app or a third-party solution, and it will keep your phone as good as it was before.miui system launcher apk
