Xiaomi has recently begun releasing a new MIUI System Launcher update that can be identified via the build version V4.26.0.4048-11301642. The update brings several new functions and bug fixes. With this firmware, the MIUI Alpha Launcher now adapts Android 12 native widgets.
Well, one of the most noticeable changes that Xiaomi leads in the launcher is the new loading animation. Our folks over at famous Xiaomi tipster – xiaomiui claim that this new change is made for the upcoming MIUI 13 skin.

The new animation appears when the launcher does not load your icons. While this animation is being displayed, your icons appear on the main screen and show an animation instead of waiting on the empty screen.
This succeeds the former way where apps started popping up one by one and the launcher stopped for a bit after a restart. In other words, the animation prevents you from using the launcher until it is completely drawn.
