Xiaomi has now found a way to enable the much-awaited recent apps page in the style of the original iOS on older versions of HyperOS without having to wait for the latest version, HyperOS 3. This is particularly important to those users who are fans of the visual treatment for multitasking in the style of the original iOS but do not want to leave the Xiaomi camp.

What Is iOS-Style Recent Apps UI?

The recent apps screen, à la iOS, sees the traditional app switcher replaced by vertically stacked cards that blur and fade as users swipe through them. Xiaomi, for instance, experimented with the concept of vertically stacked cards after conducting its community survey of users in 2023, where the company asked users if they would want the iOS layout for recent apps.

In HyperOS 3, this functionality works without any issues and can easily be activated from the system settings itself. Notwithstanding this, the Xiaomi developers have also provided the required framework for activation of the functionality in older HyperOS versions.

How to Enable It on Older Versions of HyperOS


Before moving ahead, one must keep in mind that these steps do not need root access and are done using legitimate system parameters. A computer with ADB access or LADB setup is enough.

To enable the recent applications layout from the iOS style, just install latest HyperOS 3 Launcher and use the ADB connection to the device or the local ADB environment, and after that execute the command:

• settings put global task_stack_view_layout_style 2

Once the command has been executed, the interface for viewing recently used applications transitions into the “card” layout. It is not necessary to reboot the device, though a reboot may help ensure that animations are stable on some devices.

LAdb installation

• Go to Settings > About Phone.
• Tap on HyperOS version several times until it says “You’re now a developer.”
• Go to Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options.
• Enable the following options:
• USB Debugging
• Install via USB
• USB Debugging ON (Security Settings)
• Download LADB

Behavior and Compatibility Details

When enabled, the animations are very close to Apple’s implementation, including the smooth vertical scrolling and blur effect on the cards while being offset on the screen. For devices with HyperOS 3, this same option is accessed from Settings > Recent Apps without any set commands.

Going by their testing and observations in the current beta, it is expected that Xiaomi will launch this interface on more devices when it releases HyperOS 3.1. It is also stable on most Snapdragon devices, including those running Snapdragon 8 Elite platforms.

Application Updates and Installation Information

Users who are interested in staying up to date with Xiaomi System Apps as well as its components can do so by obtaining the update through HyperOSUpdates.com or by using the MemeOS Enhancer downloaded from Google Play. The MemeOS Enhancer also allows users to have fun features, system updates, and update shortcuts.

As of this writing, though, the component version for this announcement is placed at RELEASE-6.01.03.1924, which is supportable on both HyperOS versions 3, and pick versions for earlier versions.

Xiaomi has officially started rolling out new updates for HyperOS with the December 2025 Android security patch, centered around system stability and user protection. Rollout targeting selected Redmi models in some regions brings a number of important fixes for several security vulnerabilities. These updates are part of Xiaomi’s continued software maintenance efforts under HyperOS to ensure devices remain protected against emerging threats while continuing performance consistently across various versions of Android.

Devices Receiving the December 2025 HyperOS Update

This first phase of the December 2025 security update rollout covers two Redmi smartphone models each, per region and Android version. Xiaomi is continuing its usual staged deployment approach to ensure the quality of the updates and minimize issues that may arise.

• Redmi Note 12 Pro / Redmi Note 12 Pro+
  • Region: Russia
  • Firmware version: OS2.0.9.0.UMORUXM
  • Android Version: Android 14
• Redmi 12
  • Region: EEA (Europe)
  • Version: OS2.0.206.0.VMXEUXM
  • Android Version: Android 15

These updates confirm that Xiaomi continues to support both Android 14 and Android 15 variants in parallel for its respective devices running under the HyperOS ecosystem.

What’s New in the December 2025 Security Patch

Besides the other updates, Xiaomi has laid strong emphasis on system security and malware protection with the December 2025 security patch. The update fixes a wide range of vulnerabilities identified at the Android framework and system level. Many of these fixes are rated critical, especially malicious apps capable of locking your device or attempting to access files in a prohibited manner.

In the last few months, some new malware related to Android has been targeting lock screens and input methods. Xiaomi’s December patch directly addresses these risks by strengthening system permissions and improving background process control at the HyperOS level. This helps ensure user data integrity without affecting daily device performance.

Update Availability and System App Security

The rollout is gradual and may therefore take some time to reach all eligible users. When available, update manually using the standard system updater under HyperOS. Xiaomi also recommends keeping system apps up to date, since security fixes often depend on updated core apps.

Xiaomi has finally released a major update for its stock Security app, signaling the introduction of the V12 generation. The newest build bears the number V12.0.6-251121.1.1 and is primarily focused on system infrastructure changes. However, this would be very interesting for those awaiting the release of the next HyperOS stage, as the new build provides a complete revamp of the Game Turbo interface and advanced system optimization logic. With this update, [Xiaomi] is finally preparing a serious revolution in the way background processes are handled and gaming performance is optimized on global devices.

A New Era of Optimization

This build marks the first public release of the V12 branch for the Security app. Unlike the incremental updates that came before it, the V12 series is a package deal of deep architectural changes that fit with future system iterations. Of particular note in the changelog is the refined optimization engine, which promises to clear caches and free up memory without affecting user activity. The shift to v12.0.6 would thus indicate that Xiaomi is laying the groundwork for more intensive uses of software, keeping devices fluid and responsive during more strenuous tasks.

Turbo Capabilities for Enhanced Gaming

The most noteworthy addition in this update, though, is the upgraded Game Turbo module. Xiaomi has optimized the user interface for quicker access to performance modes and floating windows. New optimization algorithms work in silent mode in the background to give priority to network stability and frame rates during gameplay. Enthusiasts using their devices for competitive gaming will appreciate how much more smooth the transition from the game to system notifications has become, with latency and input lag significantly reduced.

How to Install the Update

Keeping system applications updated is very crucial for maintaining the security and performance stability of any device. Users can easily update this application from our other projects, HyperOSUpdates.com, or through our MemeOS Enhancer application on the Play Store. The MemeOS Enhancer app unlocks special capabilities beyond simple updates for users. Among such capabilities are unlocking hidden Xiaomi settings, updating other system applications seamlessly, and managing screen refresh rates, among the common updater features.

Xiaomi’s device policies are a point of concern for users, as it becomes confusing when a particular Xiaomi device hits the End-of-Life stage earlier than other brands. This explanation will help users understand how Xiaomi selects the support time for their OS and how it differs from other companies like Samsung and Google. To gain further knowledge, you can refer to HyperOS, Xiaomi security updates, and Xiaomi device policies in related sections of your website.

Xiaomi’s Economics Model and Effects of OS Support

Xiaomi’s hardware company has a regulatory mandate that sets a limit of no more than a 5% net profit for all devices. Such a low-margin business model, though making devices more accessible, creates a limitation in generating funds for software development. Unlike other high-end smartphones that earn profits from their $800+ flagships, Xiaomi’s average selling price stays between $150-$300.

Moreover, every upgrade of the Android OS involves substantial engineering, certification, and testing expenses. With a low-margin device, it may take two to three OS generation cycles, which would be beyond the lifespan of profit value of that device. Therefore, Xiaomi focuses on feature updates of HyperOS and security updates, which provide a freshness experience without incurring costs related to OS development.

Fragmented Product Portfolio and Engineering Load

Xiaomi launches many models in a year compared to Apple and Google. Also, there are various ROMs for every device like Global, EEA, India, Indonesia, Türkiye, and China ROMs. This brings a huge maintainability matrix. Xiaomi software teams would have to prioritize their work in either high volume or flagship series, hence dropping priority for other devices.

Rebranding strategies, like a Redmi smartphone turning into a POCO worldwide or a similar Xiaomi T series model, further add variability in software. This enhances EOL projections as engineering efficiency declines.

SoC Dependency and BSP Limitations

Upgrading of the Android OS requires support from Board Support Packages (BSP) offered by manufacturers of the chips. Xiaomi cannot upgrade a device if Qualcomm, MediaTek has stopped releasing updates to drivers for key hardware components like GPU, ISP, and modem. Budget models offered by MediaTek are especially vulnerable since their support lifespan will be shorter than that of Qualcomm’s flagship chipsets like Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Without updated BSP components, Xiaomi can only offer backports for security fixes, which means no OS updates, causing early OS-level EOL.

HyperOS and “Decoupling” Strategy

To maintain a balance between costs and customer satisfaction, Xiaomi has classified the “Android Base Layer” and “HyperOS Experience Layer” as follows: This allows:

• New features without upgrading to a new version of Android
• Able to run on legacy hardware
• Decreased certification costs

Some models are updated with HyperOS 3, which is based on Android 16, while others get a backported version, either from Android 15. Thus, there is device uniformity in their software.

Regulator Influence and Shifts in the Future

The 2025 EU Eco-Design Directive will oblige producers to support their software for a longer period. There are signs of adjustment already, for example in new Xiaomi series, which are starting to support longer OS cycles, particularly in Europe, where it is obligatory.

Xiaomi has surprised all of us with a new development in their software updates, starting testings of HyperOS 3 on Android 16 for Redmi K60 Pro in China, ditching their initial test builds running on Android 15. Preliminary data has revealed that a new internal build number OS3.0.251211.1.WMKCNXM.PRE has been detected, which means that Xiaomi has started sticking to a superior version of Android in their updates.

Transition from Android 15 to Android 16 in Test Builds

Xiaomi has also been testing an Android 15-based HyperOS 3 version of Redmi K60 Pro with OS3.0.251029.1.VMKCNXM.PRE. The sudden upgrade to Android 16 indicates that development work has been happening in a relatively accelerated manner. This upgrade also supports Xiaomi’s aim of offering their smartphones a longer software lifecycle.

The REDMI K60 Pro model is available in China only, so this particular test does not affect other models worldwide. This launch, however, could signify that other Xiaomi and Redmi models are also set to test their systems using Android 16-based HyperOS 3.

Effect Possibilities for Other Xiaomi Smartphones

Since Redmi K60 Pro series models are a part of China-exclusive series, users worldwide may not feel this upgrade. However, initial tests on Android 16 reveal that Xiaomi has a unified plan for updates in upcoming HyperOS updates.

If Xiaomi pursues this further, several flagship and high-end mid-rangers are set to get similar builds of Android 16 in 2025.
