How to permanently disable notifications on the screen Xiaomi: system, advertising and from applications

Xiaomi’s pop-up notifications can annoy even the most patient users: MIUI banner ads, messy messenger alerts, or system alerts that appear at the most inopportune moment. If you’re tired of the constant flow of unnecessary information on a locked screen or status bar, this article will help you figure out how to completely disable notifications – both globally and selectively for individual applications.

The procedure differs depending on the version of MIUI (12, 13, 14 or HyperOS) and the model of the smartphone (Redmi Note 12, POCO X5, Xiaomi 13T, etc.), but the general principles remain unchanged. We will consider all the current ways, from standard settings to hidden features for power users.

If you want to get rid of only ads in notifications, not all alerts – at the end of the article there is a separate section with instructions for disabling banner ads from Xiaomi without root rights. For owners of devices with HyperOS (for example, Xiaomi 14 or Redmi K70), updated screenshots and explanations on the new interface are added.

1. Completely disable all notifications on the lock screen

The most radical way is to prevent notifications from showing on a locked screen, which will hide all banners, including messages from messengers, missed calls and system alerts, which works on all versions of MIUI and HyperOS, but has a side effect: you will not see important notifications until you unlock the phone.

To activate this mode:

1. Open Settings → Notifications and Status bar.
2. Select Notifications on the lock screen.
3. Slip on the option to not show notifications (in HyperOS can be called Hide content).
4. Confirm the action if a warning appears.

After that, only app icons (without text) will remain on the locked screen, and the notifications themselves will be available only after unlocking. If you need to leave alerts from individual applications (for example, WhatsApp or Telegram), use the methods in the following sections.

On some models (POCO F5, Redmi Note 11 Pro+) after disabling notifications, the indicator of missed calls disappears on the lock. To return it, turn on the option to Show notification icons in the same menu.

2. Selectively disabling notifications for specific applications

If you want to leave important alerts (for example, from banking applications or instant messengers), but remove intrusive notifications from games or social networks, use individual settings for each application. MIUI/HyperOS.

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Select the application you want (such as TikTok or AliExpress).
3. Slip on the Notification item.
4. Turn off the Allow Notifications switch or deactivate individual categories (such as Recommendations or Promotions).

For convenience, you can sort applications by the frequency of sending notifications:

• 📊 By number of alerts: in the Application Management menu, click on the three dots in the upper right corner and select Sort by notifications.
• 🔍 Search by title: Use the search bar at the top of the screen if you don’t want to scroll through the entire list.
• 🚫 Mass blackout: in MIUI 14 and HyperOS can select multiple apps and disable notifications for everyone at once (hold your finger on the app icon to highlight).
