Xiaomi has brought new features to the Gallery app in MIUI 12. The latest version of the app is part of the beta of MIUI 12 China. However, it is not difficult to get it on your Xiaomi device at the moment.
XDA's kacskrz was the first to spot the massive changes in MIUI Gallery app v2.2.16.17. Here are the new features -
Sky replacement filters (new)
Xiaomi introduced the Sky replacement function with MIUI 11. It allows Xiaomi users to replace the background of an image with a sky background. In the new MIUI 12 Gallery app there are several new sky replacement features.
OCR support
For those who do not know, OCR (Optical Character Recognition) allows the device to recognize the text of an image. In the new version of MIUI Gallery app, choose an image and you will find an option called "Recognize Text" under the additional options settings.
As XDA describes, recognition is slow because the image is first uploaded to Xiaomi servers for processing. This could be a privacy issue for many Xiaomi users.
Device screenshot frames
Another cool feature of the MIUI 12 Gallery app update is the addition of frames around the screenshot. Frames add the mockup of a device, but we believe Xiaomi will eventually add more screenshot frames.
From now on there are screenshot frames available for Mi 9/9 Pro, Redmi K20 / K20 Pro, Mi 10/10 Pro and Redmi K30 / K30 Pro.
