How to completely disable reports on Xiaomi: analytics, errors and diagnostics

Xiaomi devices collect and send data on system usage, application errors, and performance analytics to the company’s servers by default. These error reports and diagnostic information help developers improve MIUI and HyperOS firmware, but many users prefer to disable them for privacy reasons or traffic savings. In this article, we will discuss all ways to deactivate reports, from basic settings to hidden developer settings.

It is important to understand that Xiaomi uses several types of reports: automatic error reports (crash logs), MIUI usage analytics (app launch statistics, uptime), and system diagnostics (temperature data, battery charge data) that can be turned off selectively or completely, depending on your preferences. Some features (such as sending logs when a crash) can be useful for diagnosing problems, but if you are concerned about privacy, they can be deactivated without risking device stability.

Why Xiaomi collects reports and whether it is possible to disable them without consequences

MIUI firmware (and the new HyperOS) is integrated with Xiaomi Cloud services, which automatically collect data to:

• 📊 Performance improvements – analysis of processor load, RAM consumption and battery.
• 🐛 Error debugging – application and system failure logs (e.g., when you fly out com.android.systemui).
• 📱 Personalizations – statistics on how you use features (for example, how often you turn on the “Do Not Disturb” mode").
• 🔄 Software updates - data on the compatibility of the device with new firmware versions.

According to Xiaomi’s privacy policy, most of this data is anonymized, but some users prefer to minimize the collection of information.Switching off reports does not affect the basic functionality of the smartphone, but can complicate the diagnosis of problems when contacting support.

⚠️ Note: On HyperOS devices (e.g. Xiaomi 14, Redmi) K70) Part of the report parameters moved to the Settings section → Memory. → System Diagnostics. If you don't find the options in this article, check the firmware's relevance.

Method 1: Disable error reports in standard settings

The easiest method is to deactivate reporting via the settings menu, which works on all Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices with MIUI 12-15 and HyperOS:

1. Open the Settings. → The phone.
2. Tap 5-7 times on the MIUI version (or HyperOS version) to activate the developer mode.
3. Return to the main settings menu and select Additional → For developers.
4. Scroll down to the Debugging section and turn off:

• 📤 Send error reports (turns off crash logs).
• 📊 Automatic reporting (stops background data transfer).
• 🔍 Collection of usage data (analytics) MIUI).

-->

Once these points are deactivated, the system will stop sending most diagnostic data. However, some services (such as misaas, Xiaomi’s analytics service) may continue to run in the background.

Method 2: Block analytics services via ADB (for power users)

If standard settings are not enough, you can block the system applications responsible for collecting data using the ADB-This method requires connecting the smartphone to the PC and enabling debugging. USB.

List of key Xiaomi services that collect reports:

To disable them, run the following commands in ADB Shell (Platform Tools required):

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


adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.xiaomi.misaas




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




adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.xiaomi.xmsf

⚠️ Note: Disabling com.xiaomi.xmsf may disrupt some cloud functions (e.g., note synchronization or backup).If you experience problems after executing commands, return the service with the adb shell pm enable com.xiaomi.xmsf command.

Method 3: Using apps to block traffic

If ADB seems complicated, you can use third-party utilities that block network activity of system applications.

• 🛡️ NetGuard (without root) – blocks Internet access for selected applications.
• 🔒 AppOps (requires root) – manages permissions at the system level.
• 📵 TrackerControl – analyzes and blocks trackers (including Xiaomi services).

Example of settings in NetGuard:

1. Install the app from Google Play.
2. Open the list of applications and search com.miui.analytics, com.xiaomi.misaas.
3. Activate Wi-Fi and mobile data blocking for these services.

The advantage of this method is that there is no need for ADB or root rights. However, the lock can be reset after a firmware update, so check the settings after the MIUI upgrade.

Method 4: Disable the diagnosis through the Memory and Performance menu

In MIUI 14+ and HyperOS, some of the reporting functions are moved to the optimization section to disable the diagnosis:

1. Go to Settings → Memory (or Performance).
2. Select System Diagnostics (on some devices – Performance Analysis).
3. Turn off the options:

• 📈 Automatic analysis (collection of data on the operation of applications).
• 🔄 Sending productivity reports.
• 📡 Network monitoring (if any).

Some models (such as the Xiaomi 13T or POCO F5) also hide the Battery Improvement option in this section, which sends data about energy consumption.

💡

If the System Diagnostics section is missing, try resetting the com.miui.powerkeeper app settings through Settings → Apps → Application Management. This sometimes returns hidden options.

Method 5: Resetting Advertising ID and Limiting Personalization

Usage reports are often linked to an Advertising ID that Xiaomi uses to target ads in system applications (such as Mi Browser or Mi Video) to minimize data collection:

1. Go to Settings → Google → Advertising (if you use Google services).
2. Click Reset Ad ID and turn off Personalized Ads.
3. Go back to the main settings menu and select Privacy → Advertising.
4. Turn it off.

• 🎯 Personalized recommendations (in Xiaomi applications).
• 📢 Displaying advertising based on use.

These actions will not disable reports completely, but will reduce the amount of data you transmit about your preferences. On devices without Google services (for example, on Chinese firmware), similar settings are in Settings → Additional → Personalization.

What to do if reports continue to be sent

If you notice suspicious network activity after you complete all the steps (e.g. via NetGuard or PCAPdroid), the following reasons may be possible:

1. Firmware update – some settings are reset after the MIUI/HyperOS upgrade. Check them again.
2. Third-party applications – some programs (such as Mi Fit or Mi Home) have their own data collection mechanisms.
3. Regional firmware – Chinese (CN) or global (EEA) versions of MIUI may have different customization paths.

For a deep diagnosis:

• 🔍 Install PCAPdroid and check which domains your device uses to send data (e.g. data.mistat.xiaomi.com or sdkconfig.ad.xiaomi.com).
• 📵 In NetGuard, add these domains to the blacklist.
• 🛠️ If you have root access, delete it. APK-analytics files from /system/priv-app/.

⚠️ Note: Removing system applications without root can lead to bootloop. Use this method only if you understand the risks and have a backup of your data.

💡

Even after disabling all reports, Xiaomi can collect minimal data about the device model and firmware version when checking for updates. Completely anonymizing a smartphone without custom firmware (for example, LineageOS) is impossible.
