              My SMS still there, no wipe out.

              So far no noticeable issue with the update.

              I am ftom Malaysia

                I have not updated yet.

                I have backed up my sms, contacts and all.In case if it gets deleted, I should be able to recover.

                But I am definitely not hitting the 'update' button now. I am ok to skip this update.

                  Apart from sound improvement other updates only cosmetic fiddling by xiaomi, very disappointing. Old kernel and project treble not implemented, what a crock for this device. Why does xiaomi bother with updates then.

                    My entire SMS history is gone before I read this news. It had SMS for many years. Kindly suggest what can be done.

                      Ouch. SMS history?
                      Dang.

                        My messages from last 4-5 years are already gone :-(

                        Please suggest if any ways to recover.

                          Every single time an Android is updated, debilitating bugs appear. It's ridiculous how little software is being tested before they are distributed.
