Xiaomi/ Redmi is responsible for what you can install and what not.
Their OS is horrible. You can't even use another launcher. I'd give it back or sell it or install linux if that's possible
Sadly I'm not in a position where I can sell it back
You can install custom roms into Xiaomi phones, I recommend LinageOS or /e/OS if you want a degoogled experience. If its not for you, the latter isn't really user friendly as some google apps like maps wont really work.
Unfortunately, not on all Xiaomi phones.
It is still worth a try
Talk to them/ explain the situation
i mean you CAN use another launcher but you can't use swipe gestures at the same time.
