Looks like they removed it.
If you wish to have this particular feature you'll have to make feature request in their forum and as far as I know they barely listen to users/customer with feature request(s).
There's less or no chance that they'll add it back as looking at thier history of removing feature and not adding it back.
They have removed so many useful features and not added back despite huge requests.
I am talking little off topic but worth mentioning.
There are so many useful requests from many users on their website are pending and they are mostly making their software with tons of advertisement and making inbuilt app requirements of needing user permission to contact,phone, message and other private information permissions such as weather app(maybe clouds going to call before they start raining)
Not to forget all MIUI apps have default internet connection turned on and can't be turn off and all MIUI apps collect user data and can be found this under settings-> additional setting-> authorization and revoke.
Additionally they don't get revoke many times despite trying for many times and have set 10 second waiting time so that user get frustrated and don't turn them off.

[ROM][TWRP]MIUI 11 China Beta[25.09.2019]

Hi folks, I'm new MIUI8 SE user.
I've been using android for 6 years and I'm here - XDA - for 6 years
Since I got my first android phone which was Motorola XT910, I came here xda devs forum and search what can I do. I realized to install roms on android, custom roms. And after a few months I saw MIUI 4 is available for my Motorola XT910. I installed it and it looks great. I can costumize wahtever I want with MIUI4, and later it upgraded MIUI5 bla bla..
After a few years later I bought Xiaomi phone to use stock rom as MIUI. I bought Mi5 and later Mi6. Now I'm with Mi8SE (will continue )
So, I've been almost use all MIUı since 4th generation.
Now I just saw MIUI 11 China Beta released for our and mosth xiaomi phone. I wanted you to see, install this great rom to your phone too.
Here download link page.
How to install?
Just go to TWRP and wipe cache/data,
Format Factory Rest,
Install ROM,
And That's It...
Keep in mind that this is Chinese build and thus do not come with Google Play Services or any Google apps pre-installed, though they are easy to sideload. The features may also be slightly different from what you expect from global builds as well, given that they’re focused towards the Chinese market. Lastly, the language options are likely limited to English and Chinese.
We hope EU rom will be available this week. And global beta will come soon.

Multiuser

Hi all. I'm thinking to buy a MI9 but only in case I could find a way to setup multiple users on the device. I understand the MIUI doesn't have this feature by default which has been keeping me away from this manufacturer for a long time. However, I still hope there should be a way to enable the multiuser mode? Anyone?
you're wrong. MIUI has user accounts. just go to settings, special functions and profiles
Not only that, apart from user accounts, you can clone applications on one account that you won't find on other smartphones
You have second space in MIUI 11, but it's only 1 user more

What is Security Scan Settings->Multiple items->Root

Fairly new Mi 9 user and quickly found the extra MIUI features and ads invasive so switching off most of those features via advice in forums.
However, I can't find any description for the Root option which is found in the Security app under "Security Scan Settings". It's under a sub-heading called "Multiple Items".
Could it be a toggle to scan various items and locations (the other toggle is "System updates"), but very confusing and not confident switching anything without knowing what it does.
This is MIUI 11, fully updated global version.

Am also looking for answer on this. Did you get any information yet?

System Apps with publicity

I have recently acquired a redmi note 9. My first experience with MIUI
I was surprised that some system applications display publicity. That is not acceptable. I want any undesired publicity. Less so if some user data is collected to target the publicity.
Is this publicity a problem with my phone only, or do all MIUI ROM display publicity?
Does anyone know if this publicity collects user data?
Is there any way to remove the publicity? Or removing the applications displaying it? Or any way to block the publicity on those applications?
Many thanks in advance
By "publicity", do you mean advertising?
If I remember correctly during setup there is the option to show or hide advertising - I've always declined advertising on the two Xiaomi phones I've owned
Also I'm in the EU - I think the international / EU MIUI distribution has more limited advertising than elsewhere
Where are you based and what firmware are you using?
I'm using the stock build of MIUI 11.0.5.0 QJOEUXM
Either way, I don't get any marketing at all from the OS (I use a different launcher too and don't use any MIUI apps, aside from the camera)
AdGuard deals with any unwanted advertising within 3rd party apps

Hi Thesoupthief
Thanks for your reply.
I really do not remember any option to show or hide advertising. I will clear all data and run set up again. This time I will put special attention on any advertising options
I am using V11.0.4.0.QJOEUXM (MIUI11).
Which launcher do you use?
Did you uninstall MIUI system apps (is that possible?) or did you just install different apps?
Which apps do you suggest replacing MIUI ones?
Thanks in advance
Hi, you might try updating through settings to get the point update to MIUI 11.0.5.0 - unlikely to make any difference in terms of marketing, but nice to have the latest
I tried a few different launchers and settled with CPL - custom pixel launcher - it allows you to swipe right for Google feed etc, which I use a lot
I still have some MIUI apps (most can't be uninstalled without root, though some can be) though have Hidden them all from the app drawer to reduce clutter. I'm more comfortable with the Google alternatives ("better the devil you know...")
I was hoping to be able to use a GCam mod to replace the camera app, but the only one available for this phone at the moment is a bit slow and janky - I've been pretty happy with shots I've taken with the stock camera (though the watermark is pretty offensive, until you find the "off" setting!)
EDIT - a bit of further reading and advice you might find helpful in this article - https://www.androidauthority.com/remove-ads-xiaomi-miui-1019139/
Found this post, very helpful for disabling advertisings on MIUI:

Privacy notification missing?

Hello! I have seen a lot of videos of youtubers showing the new notifications when an app uses your microphone, location and camera.
I will leave a picture attached i got from a website showing the features.
But as it turns out i dont seem to have it anywhere in settings.
Is this a China ROM only? As i am on Global EEA MIUI 12.
Thanks!
Probably lack of features
Probably China only.
So i was going around on Apkmirror, and see MIUI setting app. So i tried install the APK, and see the feature. Since it was China only, it's not fully translated yet. But i do see the feature. I can't test it to see if able to do it job yet so...
Edit: It's does work
