Crosswalk, sidewalk, the stain left after wiping the person all of them much worse than Google’s Magic Eraser. But unfortunately this feature of Google, does not work in MIUI.
Although MIUI has had this feature for years, it is not as successful as Google. This may be because Xiaomi has focused on software innovations rather than developing such features.
