As stated, Xiaomi will be adding three new gestures to its Full Display smartphones. The first one is 'Swipe from bottom to top,' the second one is 'Swipe from bottom to top and then stop for a second,' and the last one is 'Swipe from left or right to the middle.'

The first gesture Swipe from bottom to top brings you to the home screen; the second gesture 'Swipe from bottom to top and then stop for a second' takes you to the recent apps screen.

Usually, Xiaomi releases a new Global Beta update every Friday. So, expect the same this week as well. As said earlier, these new gestures will be available only for Xiaomi Full Display smartphones such as the Mi Mix 2, Redmi 5, and Redmi 5 Plus.

However, the official MIUI forum page states that the update will bring the gestures support to only Mi Mix 2. Maybe, Xiaomi will roll out these features to the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus smartphone when they launch them in international markets.

Users already on the MIUI 9 Global Beta ROM will receive the latest 7.12.28 version via an OTA update. If you're not on the Global Beta ROM, you need to flash it manually. Also, Xiaomi will be releasing the MIUI 9 Global Beta ROM 7.12.28 as a recovery file when it goes official.
