Xiaomi is Adding iOS’s Back Tap Feature to MIUI

They have reached a point where they now only introduce UI and accessibility updates.  Apple introduced back tap gestures in iOS 14 and Google has also been working on a similar feature. Xiaomi is now hopping on the bandwagon as well as its own back tap gesture function is on the way.
