What’s the issue?
When you arrange app icons as per preference on home screen of any Xiaomi device running MIUI 12, and then for some reason restart it or put it to charging, what you see is quite annoying. After every reboot, all your home screen cutomization is gone.

- After Reboot
As you can see in the above screenshots, when there were app icons like YouTube, Zemote and others, and after restart, all those app icons are disappered from the home screen. This haappens when you restart the phoen, power off it or charger it after low battery.
How to fix this?
Well, we have, for now found a temporary solution in the seetings. If you recaall, app drawer is a new feature in the MIUI, and this might be reason behind this issue. So, in order to resolve this, you will need to change the home screen setting. Here’s how!
- Open Settings on your Xiaomi phone and go to Home screen settings.
- Here select Home screen form the many options and it will show you two otpions- Classic and With App drawer.
- Choose Classic theme from here.
That’s it! Now, when you reboot the phone after customizing your home screen, you won’t see any chages and all your icons will be there as per your prefered order.
As we already mentioned, this is a temporary solution to this issue, as if someone still wants to use the app drawer, the he will not be able to do this. We are awaiting for a permanent solution from the company and will update this article once we receive anything.
