Xiaomi recently unveiled a major iterative update to the 12th version of its custom Android skin MIUI. This update bumps the version up to MIUI 12.5 and brings along with it a plethora of new features and optimizations.
And since most of MIUI system apps are not listed on Play Store (which makes sense considering that most Google services are simply not available in China), updates for them are pushed with MIUI’s ‘System apps updater’.
And other changes are enabled through MIUI system updates themselves.
The most recent example of this is the massive update to version V2.2.17.18 bagged by the MIUI Gallery app and MIUI Alpha Launcher Update V4.22.0.2797-12311401.
Typically, OEMs update their in-house apps to fit the needs of a new firmware and this is what Xiaomi is doing with the MIUI Gallery app with respect to the latest MIUI 12.5 update.
MIUI Gallery app update new features and changes
The app’s latest update has only been rolled out in China for now and it brings a plethora of changes and features like new filters and plenty more editing options, just in time for the arrival of the first weekly beta update.
The full Changelog for MIUI China Gallery App V2.2.17.18 is given below:
These changes should come to the MIUI Gallery app on global ROMs at some point too, but it’s unknowable as to when that ‘point’ is.
But of course, global users can try the APK manually, although some features will obviously not work accordingly since this version is designed for China.
Nonetheless, if you cannot wait to get your hands on it, then visit this download link on APKMirror.
The Gallery app isn’t the only one bringing along a ton of changes to the table with an update, as MIUI Launcher too has got a fair share of fixes and optimizations for a more seamless experience.

While highlights include fixes for Gaussian blur and other things in the recent view along with gestures optimizations, the full changelog is given below, just in case you are curious enough.
Hopefully, these releases will soon be rolled out for global users too.
