POCO Launcher has received a new update that focuses on stability improvements and bug fixes for Xiaomi HyperOS users. The latest release resolves several launcher crash problems and “not responding” issues reported by users after recent Xiaomi HyperOS updates. However, Xiaomi has also confirmed an important limitation for Xiaomi HyperOS 3 users regarding Google Home Search compatibility.
The new version, POCO Launcher RELEASE-6.01.05.2343-04281641, is now available for download through MemeOSUpdates.com. Users who frequently update Xiaomi system apps can also manage updates through the MemeOS Enhancer app on Google Play.
POCO Launcher update fixes critical stability problems
The newest POCO Launcher build mainly targets system stability. According to the changelog, Xiaomi fixed:
- Launcher crashes
- “Launcher not responding” problems
- General performance instability
Many Xiaomi, REDMI, and POCO users recently reported that the launcher could randomly freeze or restart during multitasking, gesture navigation, or app switching. The new update appears to significantly improve responsiveness across devices running newer Xiaomi HyperOS builds.
The release also continues Xiaomi’s effort to optimize animations and memory management for Xiaomi HyperOS 2 and Xiaomi HyperOS 3 devices.
Important Google Home Search limitation on Xiaomi HyperOS 3
Xiaomi also included a warning for users running Xiaomi HyperOS 3. The integrated Google Home Search feature is currently unavailable on Xiaomi HyperOS 3 with the newest launcher version.
Users who still want to keep Google Home Search functionality enabled are advised to stay on the older launcher build:
- POCO Launcher RELEASE-6.01.05.2314-04232121
This means Xiaomi may still be working on compatibility adjustments between Xiaomi HyperOS 3 framework changes and Google Search integration inside the launcher.
