Other HyperOS 2.0 Features
According to a previous report, the HyperOS 2.0 update may support the detection of hidden cameras through wireless local-area network (WLAN) searches. Xiaomi handsets, utilising WLAN signals, will potentially be able to search and identify cameras that may be hidden in the vicinity.
