Which region are you using?

Indian region. The downside I have with this region is the music app showing me video adverts even after turning off recommendation in settings.

For regions other than India right? We will get there when we have alot of users of Xiaomi in Nigeria. They gave us face unlock within a month of coming to Nigeria so it is possible
Let's hope so

Acknowledged.
When you changed regions did get update for your OS afterwards (maybe as at then, it had some features India region had that your former region didn't) ?

Mostly I download the updates from MIUI website. If I download it from update in settings, it won't install with twrp, it always says error installing or file corrupted. So I usually download the full ROM then flash. But with orange fox recovery, I can now install incremental updates.

Acknowledged. By the way, I need some clarification on this pls. I went to setting>About phone>System update and saw 531mb. But when I went further to "Download latest packages", I was 1.7gb. Pls can you shed more light on the difference?
I typed everything before but it got wiped off by my browser. Had to type again.

One is the full ROM (1.2) and the other is incremental updates. Just do the incremental updates. Also switch to Mexico and update to version 10.3.12 then switch back to Nigeria

You downloaded Gmail? Are you on Chinese rom? Screenshot your about phone for inspection. To sign in go to settings - sync - scroll down answer click 'add account' - Google.

If you're having so much issues with Gmail sync, just export your contact to your memory and import it to your yahoo mail, and make your mail the default contact storage.
I'm believing you're on Chinese ROM.
