How to check the statistics of the use of the phone Xiaomi

Xiaomi’s current MIUI or HyperOS smartphones are equipped with powerful built-in self-control tools. Device owners often wonder how to effectively track what their time is spent on and which applications are most loading their batteries. Understanding these processes not only optimizes the gadget’s performance, but also creates a healthy digital balance.

In this article, we will take a look at all the available ways to get statistics, where hidden system reports are hidden, how to use standard Android tools, and why you need to know the exact time spent on social networks or games, and the data obtained will become the basis for competent optimization of your device.

The main source of information is already built into the system and does not require the installation of third-party software. However, the menu interface can vary depending on the firmware version. Below are the current navigation paths for most current models of Redmi, POCO and Xiaomi.

Using Embedded Digital Well-Being

The most reliable and detailed way to get information is to go to the Digital Well-being system module, which is integrated directly into the Android operating system and provides comprehensive data on your activity, and you need to open the standard Settings app to access it.

In the menu that opens, scroll down to a section that can be called Digital Well-Being and Parental Controls or simply Screen Time, and a pie chart is displayed that shows the distribution of time between the different categories of apps for the day.

Clicking on the diagram itself or the Show All Data button will give you a detailed report that shows how many apps have been launched and how much time they have spent on them, and allows you to instantly identify time eaters and understand the real-world use of the gadget.

• 📊 Exact usage time of each installed application by minute.
• 🔔 Statistics of notifications received from each service for the selected period.
• 📲 Number of times you have picked up your phone (screen switching cycle).

It's important to note that the data in this section is updated in real time, and if you're reading this right now, the time counter in your browser or app is ticking, making it ideal for instantaneous analysis of current activity.

Analysis of energy consumption and background activity

Another powerful source of statistics is the power section of the device. The battery is consumed in proportion to the CPU and screen activity, so the power consumption analysis indirectly, but very accurately shows which programs are working the most. Go to Settings → Battery and performance.

Here you'll see a battery discharge graph, and if you click on it or select the Statistics tab, it'll show you a list of applications sorted by energy, which is a critical parameter, because it detects not only active use, but also background use.

⚠️ Note: If you see applications that you don’t use but consume a significant percentage of charge, this is a signal that background work is incorrect.

The menu also often provides detailed screen time statistics that show how many hours the display has been active since the last full charge, a value that is the “gold standard” for evaluating the autonomy of your Xiaomi.

You can use hidden engineering menus for more in-depth analysis, although they require caution. But standard MIUI tools are usually enough for 99 percent of users. You shouldn't go into the jungle of system logs unnecessarily if the basic data is available in an understandable interface.

Setting limits and parental controls

Just knowing statistics is not enough, you have to be able to manage it. Android allows you to set time limits on the use of specific applications. It's a feature that turns passive observation into active action.

In the Digital Well-being section, there is an hourglass icon opposite each app. By clicking on it, you can set a timer. Once the allotted time (like 30 minutes on Instagram) is over, the app will be blocked until the next day.

There is also Do Not Disturb and Sleep Mode, which restricts notifications and access to distracting apps during these periods, helping to form healthy habits and avoid distractions while working or relaxing.

• 🕒 Set daily time limits for specific categories of applications.
• 🌙 Automatic activation of the silence mode on the schedule.
• 🚫 Blocking access to content for children through Google Family Link profile.

For parents, remote control is especially important, and by connecting a child’s account to their family group, you can see real-time usage statistics of their device and adjust the restrictions remotely.

Comparison of statistics in different versions of MIUI and HyperOS

The interface and layout of menu items can vary significantly depending on the version of the shell. Owners of older models with MIUI 12 and new products on HyperOS can see different designs of the same features.

In the more recent firmware versions, Xiaomi is focusing on visualization, graphs become more detailed, it can compare its statistics with averages or track weekly dynamics, and older versions offer a drier, text-based reporting format.

Despite the external differences, the functional core remains the same: the mechanism for collecting data about the launch of packets and screen activity time works at the level of the Android operating system, so the data is always reliable, regardless of the “skin”.

Third-party applications for deep analytics

If you don't have enough built-in tools, Google Play offers a variety of alternatives, with apps like ActionDash or QualityTime providing even more flexible tools for analysis.

They allow you to build complex reports, export data to CSVs, set different types of locks, and even analyze behavior patterns, such as an app that can tell you that you most often pick up your phone immediately after waking up.

But privacy is important, because by giving a third-party app access to usage statistics, you actually give it the right to monitor all your activities on your phone, and only trusted developers have to trust that data.

Optimization of work based on the data obtained

Once you get the statistics, it is important to interpret them correctly: if you see that an application (for example, a messenger) is running in the background of 5 hours a day, but you only texted for 15 minutes, then the program is not using resources correctly.

In this case, it is recommended to go to the application settings and select Energy Saving → No Limits (if you need instant delivery) or Hard Limits (if notifications are not critical) This is a direct way to increase autonomy.

⚠️ Attention: Statistical-based forced shutdown of system processes can lead to unstable interface performance.

And statistics also help to identify addiction, so if screen time is more than 6-8 hours a day, it's a reason to think about digital detox, and use data as an objective argument to fight procrastination.

💡

Tip: Once a week, look at the statistics for the last 7 days, which gives a more objective picture than the data for one day, which can fluctuate greatly depending on weekends or work days.

Regular monitoring of usage statistics is not just a technical procedure, but an element of the culture of using the technology. By understanding how your Xiaomi works, you turn it from a source of distraction into an effective tool.

💡

The built-in MIUI and HyperOS tools provide all the necessary information to control time and battery without installing additional software.
