How to permanently remove annoying tips on the lock screen Xiaomi

The lock screen on Xiaomi smartphones is not just a prying eye protection, but a whole platform for notifications, widgets and... annoying “advice” from the system. These prompts like “Use your fingerprint for quick unlock” or “Tune Mi Account for backup” appear over and over, even if you’ve set up everything for a long time. Worse, they take up space on the screen, distract from important notifications and sometimes just annoy.

The problem is that MIUI doesn’t provide a direct switch to disable these tips — they can’t be removed at a single click in the settings like regular notifications. However, there are several working ways, including hidden system features, developer settings, and even workarounds through third-party applications. In this article, we’ll break down all the current methods for MIUI 12, 13, 14 and 15, including solutions for the Redmi Note 12, Poco X5, Xiaomi 13, and more.

Important: Some of the ways require you to activate the developer mode or install additional tools, and if you're not ready to experiment, start with the simplest options.

Why Xiaomi is showing tips on the lock screen?

Tips on the lock screen are part of MIUI’s philosophy of “training” users, and Xiaomi believes that many features go unnoticed, so the system is actively pushing for them.

• 🔹 New functions MIUI: After updating the firmware, the system advertises fresh features (for example, “Gestural navigation” or “Read Mode»).
• 🔹 Unconfigured Services: If you haven’t tied up Mi Account, set up biometrics, or activated cloud backup, tips will pop up over and over again.
• 🔹 Marketing goals: Some tips are promoting Xiaomi services, such as “Use Mi Pay to Pay” or “Sign up for Mi Cloud».
• 🔹 Personalization algorithm: The system analyzes your behavior and suggests features it thinks you’ll need (e.g., “Set your alarm for tomorrow»).

Interestingly, the Chinese versions of firmware (China ROM) are usually less tips – their target audience is better acquainted with the capabilities of MIUI. But the global and European versions (Global/EU ROM) are literally spammed with tips.

Another thing that you can do is you can get tips even after you reset, if you've restored data from the backup, because microdata about your user experience is stored in the cloud and synced back again.

Method 1: Disable via “Notification Settings” (the easiest one)

This method works on most devices with MIUI 12-15 and does not require developer rights, the point is to block notifications from the system application that is responsible for the tips.

1. Open Settings → Notifications → Notifications Management.
2. In the list of applications, look for System Notifications** or Android System (may be called MIUI System or System UI).

After that, the tips should disappear, but there is a caveat: some useful system notifications (such as low battery charge or security updates) will disappear along with them.

Take a screenshot of current notifications|Make sure that important alerts (calls) are provided, SMS) not blocked|Remember the path to settings in case of rollback changes|Reboot your phone after the changes-->

Some firmware (e.g. Xiaomi.eu) may not have System Notifications, in which case you can try to find MIUI Daemon, which is also responsible for background prompts.

Method 2: Using Developer Mode (for experienced)

If the first method didn't work, you can go further and turn off the tips through the developer's settings, which is more radical, but also more reliable.

First, activate the developer mode:

1. Go to Settings. → The phone.
2. Tap 7 times on the MIUI version (you will be notified “You became a developer!”).
3. Return to the main settings and open a new section → For developers.

Now, do the following:

1. Find the USB Debugging option and turn it on (this is a must for some commands).
2. Scroll down to Log and turn off the Enable MIUI Error Log.
3. Find Background Processes and limit them to 2-3 (this will reduce the activity of system services).
4. In the System section, disable Windows animation, transition animation, and animators animation (this indirectly affects the speed of prompts).

The most effective step is to disconnect. MIUI Optimization (optimization) MIUI). For that:

Enter in the search for settings "MIUI Optimization" → turn off the switch → restart the phone.

After this manipulation, the tips should disappear after 1-2 reboots. If not, move on to the next method.

Method 3: Reset the lock screen settings (without data loss)

Sometimes the tips come from a failure in the lock screen settings, in which case a partial reset that does not affect personal data, but returns the lock settings to factory ones, will help.

Instructions:

1. Open Settings → Passwords and Security → Lock screen settings.
2. Scroll down and select Reset (or Restore Default Settings).
3. Confirm the action (a password or fingerprint may be required).
4. After reset, don’t set up biometrics and Mi Account immediately — wait 1-2 days. Often tips appear when you first set up these features.

This method is especially effective if tips started to appear after the MIUI update, because newer versions of the firmware sometimes reset hidden lock screen settings, and manually resetting them helps to get things back to normal.

💡

If the tips are back after reset, try temporarily removing all widgets from the lock screen.

Method 4: Disconnect via ADB (for advanced users)

If the previous methods did not help, you can use ADB-Android Debug Bridge is a low-level system management tool that allows you to disable system prompts at the application level.

You'll need:

• 🖥️ Computer with installed ADB-driver.
• 📱 Included Debugging by USB on the phone (see Method 2).
• 🔌 USB-cable (preferably original).

Instructions:

1. Connect the phone to the PC and confirm the debugging permission.
2. Open the command prompt (or Terminal on Mac/Linux) and type:

adb devices

(Your device name should appear, which means that the connection is established.)

1. Run the command to disable the advice:

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

This command disables the system application responsible for most of the clues.

1. For reliability, follow two more commands:

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


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

The first disables analytics collection (which often triggers tips), the second disables file transfer service, which sometimes shows advertising notifications.

After completing commands, restart the phone.Tips should disappear forever, even after MIUI updates.

💡

ADB-commands are the most reliable way, but it requires caution. Don't disable unknown system applications so as not to disrupt your phone.

Method 5: Install custom firmware (extreme case)

If none of these methods worked, the most radical option is to install an alternative firmware, which will completely remove all system prompts, but will require unlocking the bootloader and potentially strip you of warranty.

The best options for Xiaomi:

Installation process:

1. Unlock the bootloader through the Mi Unlock Tool (requires a wait of 7-15 days).
2. Install custom Recovery (TWRP or OrangeFox).
3. Download the firmware from the official website (for example, xiaomi.eu for Xiaomi.eu ROM).
4. Swipe through the Recovery by running the Wipe Dalvik/Cache before installation.

💡

Before you run your firmware, back up your data via TWRP → Backup or Mi Cloud, which will save your data if something goes wrong.

Once custom firmware is installed, the tips on the lock screen will disappear forever, but remember: this is a risky procedure that can lead to a loss of warranty or a “brick” of the device.

What if the tips returned after the update?

One of the most frustrating things about MIUI is that it brings back intrusive prompts after you update your firmware, and even if you turn them off through ADB or settings, the system app can be activated again.

Here's what we can do:

• 🔄 Repeat. ADB-commands after updating (see Method 4).
• 📵 Freeze system applications via Titanium Backup or App Quarantine (root rights required).
• 🔒 Turn off automatic updates MIUI In Settings → The phone. → Updating the system → ⚙️ → Auto-update.
• 📥 Install a patch through Magisk (e.g., module) MIUI Optimizations Disabler).

If you use Xiaomi.eu or other custom firmware, the tips don't usually come back, but on the official Global Stable, they can reappear in 1-2 weeks, in which case only a re-disconnection through ADB helps.
