The desktop experience sees improvements in the display of particle animations in certain scenarios. The AI assistant, ‘Xiaoyi’, now opens in a larger window when its icon is clicked, providing access to more of its features.
Security and Bug Fixes
In terms of security, the update integrates the security patch for October 2026, bolstering the device’s overall system security. Several bugs have also been addressed:
- The issue where recording content was not transcribed when switching from a computer to a mobile phone during cross-device collaboration in ‘Panoramic Smart Notes’ has been fixed.
