The new MIUI launcher will introduce this feature and it’s reportedly similar to the Poco Launcher.MIUI users should be able to install the latest launcher on a device running MIUI 11 and use the new launcher. Users can switch between the dedicated app drawer or the normal home screen. However, this feature isn’t available on the MIUI 11 Global Stable ROM yet.
