How to disable the inscription on the lock screen Xiaomi: the complete guide

Xiaomi smartphone owners often encounter intrusive interface elements that appear after an operating system update. The lock screen is the first thing a user sees when a device wakes up, and there is no need for extra information. Many confuse system messages with advertising or technical data that can be easily deleted. In this article, we will discuss all possible options for the appearance of inscriptions and how to eliminate them.

To make matters worse, menu names may differ from MIUI to HyperOS, and the screen can be part of a slider widget, a news feed, or a system notification, and understanding the source of a problem is key to solving it quickly, and we'll look at both standard settings and hidden developer options.

═══ Section 1: Nature of Screen Inscriptions ═══

The first thing you need to do is figure out what you want to remove, and what users often call a slider widget that suggests you swipe your finger to unlock or launch the camera, which is a standard interface element that has become more prominent in recent versions of MIUI, and it doesn't require root rights, but requires careful settings.

Another option is Glance, or "Widget Tape," which shows news and banner ads every time you turn on the screen, and often masks them as system notifications or recommendations, and if you have article titles or app download suggestions on your screen, you've activated the recommendation service.

⚠️ Warning: Disabling system services can cause useful features to disappear, such as quickly turning on a flashlight or camera from a locked screen.

═══ Section 2: Removal of the Slider of Unlocking ═══

The most common request is for a text prompt, "Swipe to unlock" or a graphic slider, and to turn off this element, you need access to advanced theme settings, and the theme directly affects the presence or absence of a slider.

Go to the Settings menu → Lock screen. This is the main switch that's responsible for using the system slider. However, if it doesn't work, you need to dig deeper. Go to the Topics app, open a profile and select "Theme Settings".

In the menu that opens, find the Slider and turn it off. Then the system will suggest you choose an alternative unlock style or leave the screen blank. The changes take effect immediately after you lock the device. If the slider returned after you reboot, check if you have a third-party theme that forcibly returns the item.

═══ Section 3: Disclaimer of Advertising and News ═══

If the message is advertising or contains news headlines, it is MSA (MIUI System Ads), a system process that is responsible for targeted advertising in the interface, and for complete peace of mind, it is recommended to deactivate it, although you can not completely remove it without special tools.

Go to Settings → Passwords and Security → Access to personal data. Find msa in the list and turn off the switch. The system will alert you for 10 seconds, then you need to confirm the action. If the first time failed, repeat the procedure 3-5 times until the timer allows you to turn off the service.

You should also check the settings of the lock screen itself. In Settings → Lock screen, look for wallpaper carousel or Glance for Mi. This service replaces your wallpaper with advertising slides with text. Disabling the carousel will return a static image.

═══ Section 4: The construction of the Vijet and Clock ═══

Sometimes users want to change the format of the display of time or remove unnecessary signatures under the clock. Standard clock on the lock screen Xiaomi can show the weather, stepmer or notifications. To adjust this, click and hold your finger on the lock screen (if the theme allows) or go to Settings → Lock screen → Watch format.

Some themes have a "Digits" or "Classic" style that minimizes text. If you use third-party launchers or themes from the GetThemes store, the settings may be inside the theme app itself.

| Type of inscription | Where to disable | System Impact |

| :--- |--- | :--- |

| Unlock slider | Theme settings / Lock screen | Removes the swipe prompt |

| Wallpaper carousel | Settings → Lock screen | Removes ads and news |

| MSA | Access to personal data | Reduces the amount of advertising |

| Weather widget | Watch format | Simplifies interface |

⚠️ Note: When changing the theme of the design, all widget settings can be reset to the default values set by the theme author.

═══ Section 5: Hidden Attacks Through ADB ═══

For advanced users who don't have the standard methods, there's a way to remove system components through ADB (Android Debug Bridge), which allows you to disable even those services that don't have a shutdown button in the interface. You'll need a computer and a USB cable.

First, you need to activate debugging mode. Go to Settings → About Phone and quickly click on MIUI 7 times. You will see a message saying "You became a developer." Then, in the "Advanced Settings" menu, turn on Debugging over USB.

Connect your phone to your PC, install drivers, and type a command to disable a specific package, such as turning off an analytics service that collects data for advertising:

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.analytics

Using ADB gives maximum control, but requires technical literacy.Removing system packages via ADB is not a reversible simple reset and may require flashing the device in case of an error.

═══ Section 6: Issues with side topics ═══

Often the source of the "non-removable" inscription is the theme itself. Theme writers at Xiaomi store often sew static text, logos or decorative elements into the design that cannot be turned off in the settings. If you have tried all of the above methods and the inscription remains, the topic is to blame.

To test this, temporarily return the standard Classic or Default theme. If the inscription is missing, then the problem is in the design of the third-party design, in which case you either have to accept the design element, find another theme, or edit the theme file (which requires unpacking and repackaging the.mtz archive).

💡

Before installing any new theme from the MIUI store, always look at the screenshots of the lock screen in the preview to avoid unwanted captions.

═══ Section 7: Frequent questions (FAQ) ═══

💡

The most effective way to deal with inscriptions is a comprehensive approach: disabling MSA, removing the wallpaper carousel and using minimalist themes of design.

In conclusion, cleaning the lock screen Xiaomi is a process that requires care, but is completely accessible to any user. By combining interface settings and system services management, you can achieve a clean and aesthetic appearance of your smartphone.
