How to completely disable the screen review on the Xiaomi phone: all ways

The screen viewing (or Screen Mirroring) feature on Xiaomi smartphones allows you to stream an image from your phone to your TV, monitor or other devices via Miracast protocol or Google Cast. However, many users face a situation where this option is activated accidentally - for example, when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks or after updating the firmware. Moreover, constant notifications about available devices for broadcast can be annoying, and the module consumes an additional battery in the background.

In this article, we’ll look at all the ways you can turn off screen view on Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO phones, from standard MIUI/HyperOS settings to hidden developer settings. The instructions are relevant for 2020-2026 models (including Xiaomi 14, Redmi Note 13 Pro+, POCO F6) and are tested on the firmware of MIUI 14, MIUI 15 and HyperOS 1.0. If you want to not just hide notifications, but completely deactivate the wireless broadcast module at the hardware level, read on.

What is a screen review on Xiaomi and why it is worth turning it off

Screen Mirroring is a technology that duplicates the contents of a smartphone display onto external screens without using wires.

• 📺 Miracast is a wireless broadcast standard supported by most modern TVs (Samsung, LG, Sony).
• 🔗 Google Cast – a proprietary protocol from Google (used in Chromecast, Android) TV).
• 📱 Xiaomi Cast – a proprietary solution for Xiaomi ecosystem devices (e.g. Mi) TV Mi Box).

Despite the convenience, the function has several disadvantages:

• 🔋 Increased battery consumption: even in standby mode, the module scans available devices for connection.
• 🛡️ Security Risks: In public networks, attackers may try to connect to your screen.
• 📱 Lags and hovers: on weak models (for example, Redmi) 9A) Miracast background activity may slow down the system.

⚠️ Note: On some Xiaomi firmware, the screen review function automatically turns on when you connect to Wi-Fi Direct or when you activate Hotspot mode. This can lead to an unexpected broadcast of your screen to someone else's devices.

Method 1: Disconnect via the basic MIUI/HyperOS settings

The easiest method is to deactivate the screen view in the settings menu. The interface may vary slightly depending on the firmware version, but the general logic is maintained:

1. Open the Settings app (cog icon).
2. Go to Connections and Sharing (HyperOS) or Connect and Sharing → Screen Review (MIUI 14/15).
3. Click on the Screen View (or Wireless Display) bar.
4. Move the slider to the off position.

If your menu doesn’t have a separate screen review item, try an alternative path:

1. Go to Settings → Display.
2. Slip on the additional (or advanced settings).
3. Find the Wireless Display option and turn it off.

Some models (such as Xiaomi 13T or POCO X5 Pro) may still have the wfd.service background process after shutdown, which continues to scan the networks. To stop it completely, you will need to use the developer mode (see Method 3).

Method 2: Removing notifications about available devices

Even after the screen view is turned off, the system can still display notifications like "Device available for broadcast: Mi TV" to remove them:

1. Open Settings → Notifications and Status bar.
2. Select Notification Management.
3. In the list of apps, find the Screen Review (or Miracast).
4. Turn off the display notification slider.

If the screen review item is not in the list, try:

• 🔍 Enter the search for settings query "Miracast".
• 📱 Reboot the phone – sometimes the vigils disappear after the reboot.
• 🛠️ Use it. ADB-command for forced shutdown (see Method 5).

⚠️ Warning: Miracast notifications may be disguised as system alerts on HyperOS firmware. To filter them, open the notification bar, hold your finger on any message from Screen View, and select Disable.

Reboot the phone.

On firmware HyperOS may need to further disable:

• 🔄 Automatic Wi-Fi connection (in the Wi-Fi section) → Additionally).
• 📡 Smart Connection (in Settings) → Connections and sharing).

Method 4: Forced Miracast service stoppage via ADB

For advanced users, there is a method to completely disable Miracast service via Android Debug Bridge (ADB).

• 🔄 Screen review is turned on itself after restarting.
• 📵 There is no slider in the settings to turn off.
• 🛠️ You need to disable the function at the system level (for example, to save battery life).

Instructions:

1. Install. ADB-computer-driver.
2. Activate USB Debugging in Settings → For Developers.
3. Connect the phone to the PC and execute commands in the terminal:

adb shell


pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.mirror




pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.wfd

After completion:

• 🔧 Miracast service will be completely deactivated.
• 📱 The screen review icon will disappear from the notification panel.
• ⚠️ To return the function, use the pm enable command instead of disable-user.

⚠️ Note: Disconnecting system services through ADB This can cause other Wi-Fi Direct-related functions to work in an unstable way (such as Quick Share or Mi Share.

💡

If your Miracast wireless headphones stop working after you shut down, follow the command adb shell pm enable com.android.bluetooth to return Bluetooth functionality.

Method 5: Using third-party applications to block

If you're uncomfortable with ADB, you can use Google Play apps that block system services.

Instructions for App Ops:

1. Install and open the application.
2. Find the screen review or Miracast in the list.
3. Turn off Wi-Fi permissions, Location and Background activity.
4. Reboot the phone.

Disable Service requires root access or activation of ADB via a computer, a method that is suitable for custom firmware models (e.g. Xiaomi.eu or LineageOS).

💡

Third-party apps may conflict with system updates. Once you install MIUI or HyperOS patches, check to see if Miracast is back on.

Comparison of methods: what way to choose

Depending on your Xiaomi model and the purpose of disabling the screen view, different methods will suit.

If your goal is to maximize battery savings, combine ADB and developer mode. Standard settings are sufficient for temporary shutdowns (e.g., on a trip).

On HyperOS models (such as the Xiaomi 14 Ultra), some methods may not work due to the system architecture.

• 🔄 Reset network settings (Settings) → Connections → Resetting the network).
• 📱 roll back MIUI 14 (if HyperOS is still raw).
