Xiaomi: Turn Best Photo Marks On or Off in Gallery

If your Gallery keeps flagging one photo out of a burst as the best shot, MIUI is comparing similar images and tagging the sharpest or best-exposed one automatically. Some users find this helpful for sorting large photo batches, others just want a clean gallery without extra labels. The setting controls whether this comparison runs at all.

Turn Best Photo Marks On or Off auf Xiaomi

MIUI scans groups of similar photos in the Gallery app and marks the sharpest or best-exposed shot with a small best photo label. This happens automatically once the feature is enabled, without you having to compare images manually.

The comparison only affects how photos are labeled, not how they are stored. No files get deleted or moved, and the original images stay untouched in your gallery. If you shoot a lot of burst photos or near-duplicate shots, the label helps you spot the strongest one at a glance.

To change the setting, open Gallery and tap the Menu icon. Go to Settings and toggle Select best photo on or off.

Turning it off stops MIUI from analyzing similar shots, which can be useful if you prefer to judge photo quality yourself or if the labels feel like visual clutter. Turning it on again resumes the automatic comparison for new photos, but it will not retroactively re-scan images taken while the feature was disabled.

This setting has no effect on video files or on photos that MIUI does not recognize as similar to another image in your gallery.

Frequently asked questions

No. The toggle in GalleryMenuSettings only controls the label, not the files themselves. Disabling it just stops new comparisons; existing photos and their labels stay as they are.
