How to Remove Tips on Xiaomi Phone: 5 Ways to Turn Off Unnecessary Notifications

Xiaomi’s pop-up tips can be useful for beginners, but they become annoying over time. MIUI actively offers tips for using features, advertises the company’s services, and even shows contextual cues in the settings menu. If you want to get rid of this digital “noise,” our guide will help you disable all types of prompts, from standard notifications to hidden system tips.

It’s important to understand that Xiaomi uses several mechanisms to show hints: some are managed through notification settings, others are hidden in the developer’s settings, and others are tied to specific applications. We’ll analyze all options from simple to advanced, including methods for different versions of MIUI (12 to 15). If you use a Redmi, POCO or Black Shark smartphone, the instruction is also suitable, since they all work on the basis of the branded shell.

Before you start, check your firmware version in Settings → About Phone → MIUI version. Some menu items may vary slightly depending on the model (Redmi Note 12, Xiaomi 13 Pro, POCO F5) and regional firmware (global, Chinese, EEA).

1. disable standard MIUI prompts in settings

To start with, system notifications and tips that can be deactivated through the main menu work on all Xiaomi devices, regardless of the model and version of MIUI (except for the oldest firmware until 2020).

Go to: Settings → Notifications and Status Bar → Notification Management

Here, three key actions need to be taken:

• 🔍 Find the System Tips app in the list (or MIUI System Tips in English and tap it.
• 🔔 Turn off the Switch Show notifications (or Allow notifications).
• 📵 For reliability, block all types of notifications in the submenu of the Notification Category, moving the sliders to the left.

After that, most pop-ups with tips (such as “Push twice on the screen to unlock” or “Use gesture for a screenshot”) will stop appearing, but this method does not remove hints inside apps (such as in the Gallery or the Browser) and contextual tips in the settings menu – they need additional actions.

💡

If the notification list doesn’t include System Tips, try finding MIUI Daemon or System UI – sometimes tips come from these services.

2. How to remove the hints in the settings menu (hidden parameter)

Xiaomi has integrated contextual prompts into MIUI that appear directly in the settings menu. For example, when you open the Battery section, the system can show advice like "Enable Power Saving Mode to Extend Time." These prompts are not managed through standard notification settings, but they can be disabled through the developer settings.

First, activate the developer mode (if it is not already enabled):

1. Go to Settings. → The phone.
2. Tap 7 times on the item MIUI (you will be a developer!).
3. Return to the main settings menu and open a new section Additional → Developer options.

Now find the option in the developer settings: Disable MIUI (or Disable MIUI optimization in English).

After activating this parameter:

• ✅ Disappear contextual tips in the settings menu.
• ✅ Stop popping up prompts when you first open applications.
• ⚠️ Some visual settings (animations, transitions) may be reset).

💡

Disabling MIUI optimization removes not only hints, but also some visual effects of the shell. If you want smooth animations, use alternative methods from the following sections.

3. Removing hints from specific applications

Many of Xiaomi’s standard apps (Gallery, Browser, Music, Camera) have their own tip-show mechanisms. These tips are not managed through system settings, so they need to be disabled separately in each application.

Here’s how to do it for the most “intrusive” programs:

For Google apps (e.g. YouTube, Chrome, Play Store), the prompts are disabled through their own notification settings. Go to Settings → Apps → App Management, select the right one, and block notifications completely or selectively.

4.Blocking Advertising Tips via MIUI AdBlock

Many of the “tips” are actually disguised ads for Xiaomi services (Mi Pay, Mi Cloud, Temu, etc.) that come through the MSA (MIUI System Ads) system app and are not disabled by standard methods, and you need to use a built-in ad blocker or third-party tools to remove them.

Method 1: Through the built-in MIUI AdBlock (powered by MIUI 12.5+):

1. Open Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Slip on the three dots in the upper right corner and select Show all processes.
3. Find the msa (or MIUI System Ads) application.
4. Open its settings and turn off notifications, as well as block auto-start.

Method 2: Through ADB-Teams (for advanced users):

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

This command completely disables the system module responsible for displaying ads. After you perform, restart your phone. Please note that on some firmware (Xiaomi EU, custom ROM) this can lead to unstable work of Xiaomi services.

5. Reset the prompt settings (if nothing helps)

If the prompts continue to appear after all the manipulations, it may be locked in the system cache or in the data of a particular application, in which case resetting notification settings or cleaning the system applications data will help.

Option 1: Reset all notifications (without loss of data):

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Slip on three points → Reset notification settings.
3. Confirm the action and restart the phone.

Option 2: Cleaning system application data (more radical method):

• 🧹 For system prompts: find in the list of applications MIUI System Tips or com.miui.systemAdSolution, open its settings and click Clear Data + Clear the cache.
• 🔄 For contextual tips: do the same for the Settings app (com.android.settings).
• ⚠️ After cleaning the data, some settings may reset (for example, the order of the tiles in the notification curtain).

Make a backup copy of important data

Remember the current lock screen settings

Take a picture of the order of the icons on the desktop

Check if you know your Wi-Fi passwords and accounts-->

If even after reset, the prompts come back, most likely they are tied to your Mi Account, in which case only logging out of your Xiaomi account (with subsequent login) or completely resetting your phone to factory settings will help.

6. Alternative methods: from root rights to custom firmware

For users willing to take drastic measures, there are ways to remove the prompts forever - but they require unlocking the bootloader, obtaining root rights, or installing custom firmware - methods that are only suitable for power users, as they can lead to a loss of warranty or unstable phone operation.

Method 1: Remove system applications via TWRP:

• 📱 Install. TWRP Recovery and backup the system.
• 🗑️ Through the file manager in TWRP delete files: /system/priv-app/MiuiSystemAdSolution /system/priv-app/SystemTip
• 🔄 Reboot the phone.

Method 2: Using Magisk modules:

Magisk repository has modules like MIUI Debloater or Disable MIUI Ads that automatically disable all advertising and advice services, and you can install them through Magisk Manager after you get the root rights.

Method 3: Transition to custom firmware:

Firmware like LineageOS, Pixel Experience or Xiaomi.EU (without ads) are completely devoid of Xiaomi system prompts, but they will require:

• 🔓 Unlock the bootloader (via Mi Unlock Tool).
• 📥 Install TWRP Or OrangeFox Recovery.
• 🖥️ Sweep alternative firmware (with the risk of data loss).

💡

Custom firmware solves the problem of hints radically, but requires technical skills. Before installing, check compatibility with your model (Redmi Note 11, Xiaomi 12T, etc.) on the XDA Developers forum or 4PDA.

⚠️ Warning: Unlocking the bootloader resets all data on the phone, including photos and messages, and it also voids the Xiaomi warranty (if it is still valid) on some models (for example, on some models, POCO F4 or Redmi K50) Unlocking can take up to 720 hours of waiting due to company policy.
