DoNews reported that, following the updates of Tencent’s Weixin mobile app; Xiaomi Miliao has also released a new version of it’s free instant messaging client Miliao with LBS capability to help locate nearby friends.

You can also tag someone with a ‘like’ label to star them. If a user also ‘like’s’ you back, Miliao will match you two together to spark an introduction and conversation. If you don’t want to be bothered or harassed, you can opt to ‘hide’ yourself from others.
