App Drawer: MIUI 11 is the latest system interface modified by Xiaomi that has rolled out on several smartphones. Actually, MIUI 11 itself has a basic operating system Android 9 Pie or Android 10 which depends on the class and hardware specifications of an Xiaomi smartphone.
Sometimes Redmi or Mi series smartphones that can be said to be old will be given MIUI 11 based on Android 9 Pie. While the latest release of devices that are still warm will use MIUI 11 based on Android 10.
Even so, usually Xiaomi will present some of the same MIUI 11 features even though the base of the operating system is different. Interestingly, Xiaomi has just launched the App Drawer feature on the MIUI 11 Global ROM system.
In 2019, this feature was not yet available in MIUI 11 Global ROM because it was only available for MIUI China ROM only. You could say MIUI 11 became the first Xiaomi interface system to offer App Drawer.
App Drawer itself is a page or menu that serves to display a collection of applications that are installed on a smartphone. This is certainly different from the previous generation MIUI which directly presents the application installed on the Home Screen like an iPhone device.
