Xiaomi rolls out MiUi 10 Global beta 9.3.28 with dark mode, security patches

Xiaomi has started rolling out MiUi 10 update 9.3.28, adding several new features to the custom operating system. This update finally brings in dark mode, security patches and fixes issues like touch lag, non-responsive screen, etc. on several devices.

Xiaomi’s MiUi website uploaded a list of features and updates made to MiUi 10.  The updates include dark mode, security patch for March 2019, fixing issues related to displaying notifications on the lock screen, etc.  Xiaomi has stated that the company has taken feedback from its users and fixed many problems that persisted in the previous updates. 

The update also brings in support for Netflix on Poco F1. Previously, after the update 9.3.1, Poco F1 received the Widevine L1 certificate via an MIUI Beta OTA update.
