Although MIUI is built on the Android platform, the default user interface of its previous iteration closely resembles iOS due to the absence of the application tray with a grid of icons organized into the home panels. Other iOS similarities include application icons in the same shape, dialer and in-call interface, organization of the Settings app, and visual appearance of toggles in the UI.
The best part of the MIUI Custom ROM is its customization. In MIUI, you get a lot of customization options and MIUI themes one of them. Using this option you can install themes in your MIUI devices.
For MIUI themes, you will find an application in your device that is pre-installed on your Mi mobile. And name of this application is Themes.
