Following the initial rollout of the April maintenance update, a noticeable visual enhancement has been discovered in the latest Xiaomi HyperOS Security app (version 12.4.8-260320.1.1). While the update continues to handle under-the-hood Game Turbo integrations, Xiaomi has silently rolled out a redesigned main dashboard featuring a brand-new “Popular features” section.
Core Content: The New “Popular Features” Interface
The most significant front-facing change in this build is the restructuring of the app’s main screen. Right below the standard grid icons (such as Data usage, App lock, and Privacy), Xiaomi has introduced a categorized, card-based UI called “Popular features.”
This new layout provides quick, banner-style access to the most frequently used optimization tools. Based on the latest screenshots, these colorful, easily accessible action cards include:
-
For new users: A dedicated onboarding section (Purple card).
-
Protect apps with App lock: Quick access to privacy tools (Blue card).
-
Perform deep clean to free up storage space: A direct shortcut to the deep cleaner (Yellow card).
-
Monitor network connection speed: Real-time network tracking (Green card).
Affected Devices & Software Versions
-
Affected Devices: Universal rollout for all supported global Xiaomi, REDMI, and POCO devices running the Xiaomi HyperOS ecosystem.
-
Target Software Version: Xiaomi HyperOS Security V12.4.8-260320.1.1.
How the Update Improves the System
This UI redesign significantly improves accessibility, especially for less tech-savvy users. By bringing critical device maintenance tasks—like deep cleaning and network monitoring—directly to the forefront with large, readable banners, users no longer need to dig through nested menus or the bottom toolbox to find essential features. It streamlines the user experience (UX) and makes daily device optimization much faster.
