Xiaomi Redmi Y2 has started receiving the MIUI 9.5.14 update in India. The update, which is designed to optimise the system performance, is initially rolling out to select users as the MIUI Global Beta Stable V9.5.14.0.OEFMIFA, and if everything is fine for these users, the update will be rolled out publicly. It is available as an over-the-air (OTA) update. Launched earlier this month, the Redmi Y2 runs Android 8.1 Oreo-based on MIUI 9.5. The handset also includes features such as AI Beautify 4.0 and Face Unlock. Moreover, it is upgradable to MIUI 10 Global ROM that brings AI Portrait mode and is touted to offer faster performance.
As announced through an MIUI forum post, Xiaomi has pushed the MIUI 9.5.14 update to random Redmi Y2 users. The company says that update is available through the OTA channel only.

         Xiaomi hasn't mentioned any specific release date about the wider roll-out of MIUI 9.5.14. However, it has confirmed through the forum post that the update will be released to all users if the Beta Stable build will perform normally on the Redmi Y2.
While Xiaomi hasn't provided any changelog of the latest update, a forum member has posted a screenshot of the changelog. This confirms that the update is sized at 1.3GB and includes various bug fixes as well as improves overall system stability.
