Xiaomi Confirms and Fixes Gallery App Crash Issue
Xiaomi officially confirmed that some users faced continuous crashes while trying to open album categories inside the Gallery interface. The issue occurred when swiping right inside the photo album, inducing a forced shutdown loop that interfered with normal media operations.
The company did not waste any time in releasing a targeted update aimed at stabilizing the Gallery app and restoring its full functionality, such that users can once again add images, import videos, and organize their albums without interruptions. This was announced via the official Mi Community, further cementing Xiaomi’s commitment to rapid maintenance and improvements with its users in mind.
How Users Can Receive the Fix
Already, Xiaomi has started rolling out the patch to compatible HyperOS builds, and the update is available via multiple official channels but as system update. Updates are recommended for those who experienced similar instability during recent weeks.
Available Methods for Update Gallery
Users can upgrade the Gallery app directly via our MemeOS Enhancer tool, available on the Play Store. More than app updates, it also unlocks hidden functionalities in Xiaomi and gives easy access to system-level utilities.
With the update installed, the Gallery application should work as expected, including access to albums and the ability to import media.
What This Fix Means for Xiaomi Users
This swift bug resolution shows the relentless focus of Xiaomi on software stability and the comfort of users within the HyperOS ecosystem. Keeping key apps, like the Gallery, up and running is critically important for daily use of the device, considering the users who still manage their media locally in the device storage.
