What's New in MIUI 9.5

New Notification Shade

Sound Recording Options for Screen Recorder: Now Record Audio Internally

Xiaomi is now reintroducing the feature to capture audio directly from your phone's internal system when screen recording. This will come in handy when capturing phone's screen to create a video where audio is also needed, such as when creating a tutorial.

Mi Mover: Now transfer apps with or without app data & Resume interrupted transfers

Now, while moving your data from an old phone to a new phone, you will now have the option to choose whether you want to also move the app data or not when moving apps. This will really save a lot of transfer time as app data also consumes time. You also now have the option to resume interrupted transfer in Mi Mover.

Mi Drop: Resume interrupted transfers

Just like on Mi Mover,  you will now be able to resume interrupted download on Mi Drop as it now  supports resuming a broken-point file transfer which allows you to resume your transferring after interruptions.
