Does the Redmi 3 (stock ROM) have an SMS widget?

I've been searching high and low for an SMS widget for MIUI's stock messaging app, but cannot find one.

I also tried installing several other SMS apps and for some reason only some of them show an SMS widget available to be used on the Redmi.

I tried Google messenger which does have a widget but it won't import any of my existing SMS conversations.

Any ideas?
