Dual Apps
Dual Apps lets you run two separate instances of the same app. Both versions are independent of one another, and as such you'll be able to use two WhatsApp accounts on the same phone. There are apps available in the Play Store that offer the same functionality, but in MIUI 8 the feature is built into the OS.
Second Space
Second Space lets you easily create a secondary profile on your device. If you're using a single phone for both work and personal use — as is becoming more and more common — you'll be able to create two separate profiles with Second Space.
The feature lets you set up a password when creating the secondary profile, and once done you can easily switch profiles from the toggle on the notification panel. The phone's settings are shared between profiles, but you'll see a distinct home screen layout in each mode. You'll also be able to transfer data between the two profiles with the built-in Move Data utility. To delete a profile, you'll need to enter your Mi account credentials.
New gallery features
MIUI 8 brings a slew of new features to the gallery. There's a new video editor that lets you trim videos, add filters, text, and background music. The gallery also has quick sharing options through which you can share your images on social media platforms with a swipe up gesture.
Xiaomi has been offering a cloud sync option for some time now, but MIUI 8 now gives you the ability to free up storage by deleting photos that have already been backed up. You'll be able to see thumbnails of the images stored in the cloud. Finally, all panoramas taken on the phone are displayed in their native format horizontally across the screen.
Caller ID and messaging
Spam calling is a major nuisance in emerging markets, and Xiaomi is tackling it by crowd-sourcing caller information. If enough users blacklist a particular number, it will show up as a spam call. Xiaomi has partnered with the likes of Amazon and Domino's to feed numbers of their delivery fleets into the caller ID service. You can take notes when in the middle of a call, or start recording a call from the options listed in the dialer. As is the case with MIUI in general, there are plenty of ways to customize incoming call settings, including flashing the notification light whenever you receive a call.
There's also an automatic call record feature that can be enabled from the settings. Doing so records all outgoing and incoming calls, and there's the option to filter with contact numbers or create lists. For instance, you can just enable automatic call recording for all unknown numbers.
