Xiaomi released a new update of the Security app. With that update, we can reach the apps quickly anywhere. And apps are opening in PiP mode. The good thing is it still works on MIUI 12.5 and android 11 devices. So if you using an old device you can use that new feature. Now let’s see how it is activated?
Activating new App Dock Settings
- First download the activity launcher.
- Then download and install the new Security app. Then open the activity launcher. You will see a warning. Tap ok.
- Then tap the search button and paste this “com.miui.dock.settings.DockSettingsActivity”. After that, you will see activity from the Security app. tap on it.
- After these steps, you will see dock settings like in the first photo. If you want to use it anywhere, enable the “Always show” switch. If you want only to enable it while playing games or watching videos enable 2 sections bottom of the always show section.
- After enabling, you will see a transparent bar on the left-mid of the screen. For opening, the dock just swipes to another side. Also, you can change the place of that dock. Just press and hold and move it to where you want.
- Swipe to the other side and open the dock panel. Then select your app what do you want to open PiP mode. This feature already exists on MIUI. But that update makes it more reachable.
Now you can use the new app dock. Tested on MIUI 12.5 Android 11. Maybe won’t work with other MIUI and Android versions. If you have another MIUI or Android version try it yourself.
