The saying “good things to come to those who wait” must be true after all because Xiaomi phones are finally getting an app drawer thanks to an upcoming MIUI 11 update.

For the longest time, Xiaomi forced MIUI users to list apps on their home screens, iOS-style. However, with the addition of a dedicated app drawer in MIUI 11, users will now be able to view all their apps in a separate drawer just like pretty much every other Android phone.

The app drawer on MIUI 11 is being made available through a new MIUI launcher update, Xiaomi confirmed on Weibo. The company says users will be able to choose between a classic mode and the new drawer mode through the home screen settings.
