Is Xiaomi abandoning Second Space feature? (self.xiaomi)

Second space feature is uniqoe to Xiaomi and truly makes you feel like you have two completely separate phones in one device. This Xiaomi implementation of Android multiple accounts feature is by far the most elegant and user-friendly.

The second space feature is the only reason I continue to buy Xiaomi phones. Otherwise nothing really differentiates Xiaomi significantly from competitors.

I am discovering more and more bugs and missing features in recent versions of second space. Examples:

Cannot adust display size (stuck at Small and can't change it). I am vision impaired so this is important to me.

Missing ability to set power saving options for apps installed in second space.

Missing ability to adjust notifications sound volume in second space.

Buggy handling of notification sounds when switching between spaces.

All this is causing me to wonder whether Xiaomi has ababdoned this feature and is no longer maintaining or updating it?

Would appreciate hearing from other second space users about this.

Thanks for your feedback. Sounds like OnePlus System Clone is what Xiaomi Second Space used to be way back in MIUI 11, before they started dumbing it down. A high functioning version of this feature is important to me, so I will definitely look at OnePlus/Oppo/Realme for my next phone upgrade. Sure wish OnePlus made a more compact phone line.
