security on android It got better over the years. What started as a simple PIN on the SIM card has now become a catalog of different unlocking methods to access our Xiaomi mobile and security is increasing.

PIN, pattern, fingerprint, facial recognition… every user has their own method, but whatever you use, you’ll have to use it. set a PIN in case the first method failsand that’s where Android 14 comes in, which will bring an improvement that will prevent supervisors from seeing what the 4, 6 or 8 digit code is.

In key animations

Whenever we create a pattern or digitize a fingerprint on our Xiaomi mobile, it will also ask us to create a PIN so if we forget the pattern, unlock device with this code. Until now, there was a small animation of entering these numbers.

By clicking on the numbers, that animation is allowed someone close to you will remember these numbersbeing able to access your mobile phone whenever you want, because an animation took the pulse of each issuemakes it easy to visualize them.

Google is already developing Android 14, the new version of the operating system that will be presented in May and will arrive on your Xiaomi mobile. some time later this year. For this new release, the tech giant is working on a way to prevent anyone from remembering these numbers.

And it succeeded. As you can see on XDA, Android developers have developed a new feature. ‘advanced PIN privacy’. This function disables all animations while entering the code, so impossible for anyone but the user know which numbers are being pressed.

We could already see it in Android 13 beta but finally did not reach the operating systemso we hope that with the arrival of Android 14 this tool will allow our Xiaomi mobile have extra security.
