There is actually a setting in the display menu which asks you if you would like to prevent ‘pocket dials' (accidental calls and responses when the phone is in your pocket).

Messaging

Messaging

Got a secret friend whose messages shouldn't be shown to prying eyes? The MIUI's default messaging app comes with a private messaging feature. All you need to do is, from the normal message screen, just pull down the screen until it takes you to private messaging window. Set a lock for more security.

Background Data Usage

Background Data Usage

This is one of the most needed application for any user. We always see many applications consuming lot of data even when not in use. MIUI provides a facility to restrict which application can consume data in the background or not.

Privacy

Privacy

One thing I just love about the MIUI is the Guest Mode. Use Guest mode to hide all you personal data. Go to Security > Privacy Protection and Enable the Guest mode to hide all you personal files.
