Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T is a popular smartphone with powerful stuffing, but many users face intrusive advertising in MIUI. Banners appear in settings, Mi Browser apps, Mi Video, and sometimes even on the lock screen. In this article, we will analyze all the ways to disable advertising, from standard settings to deep system changes.
It's important to understand that Redmi Note 8T ads come in two types: system (built into MIUI) and apps (from Google or third-party developers). We'll look at the methods for both, including those without root rights and with them. If you're willing to sacrifice a warranty for a clean interface, at the end of this article you'll find instructions for advanced users.
1. disable personalized advertising in MIUI settings
The easiest way to reduce the amount of advertising is to turn off personalization, which won't remove banners completely, but will make them less intrusive.
Settings → Xiaomi Account → Mi AdvertisingTurn off all the switches associated with advertising here, pay special attention to the item "Personalized recommendations" - it is responsible for targeted ads, and we recommend turning off "Show ads based on the use of applications."
- 🔹 Mi Advertising – the main advertising management center in the MIUI
- 🔹 Personalized recommendations – disables analysis of your actions
- 🔹 Advertising on the lock screen – a separate switch in some versions MIUI
Once you turn off these options, reboot your smartphone, and there are fewer ads, but they won't disappear completely, and more radical measures are needed.
2. Removal of Advertising in Standard Xiaomi Apps
Mi Browser, Mi Video, Mi Music and Cleaner often show banners, which can be turned off in the settings of each application separately, for example in Mi Browser:
Mi Browser → Settings → Additional → Advertising and newsDisable all switches in this section. Similar settings are available in Mi Video (Recommendations) and Cleaner (Notifications) section.
⚠️ Note: In some regional versions MIUI These settings may not be available. If you don't find them, move on to the next way.
If the ad stays, try resetting the app settings:
Settings → Applications → Application Management → [Select App] → Storage → Clear DataThis will delete all temporary files and can reset ad settings to factory settings.
3.Using ADB to Deeply Disable Advertising
For users who are willing to work with ADB, There's a way to turn off ads at the system level, and it doesn't require root rights, but it requires a computer and a computer. USB-cable.
First, turn on the USB debugging:
Settings → About Phone → MIUI Version (click 7 times) → Return to Settings → Additional → For Developers → Debugging by USBConnect your smartphone to your computer and execute the commands:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.systemAdSolution
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.xiaomi.midrop.overseasThese commands disable the system services that are responsible for displaying ads. After you do this, restart the device.
Install ADB-PC-driver
Enable debugging by USB on a smartphone
Connect the phone to the computer
Start the command line on behalf of the administrator-->
4. Installation of alternative firmware (for advanced)
If you're willing to take drastic measures, you can install custom firmware without advertising. Popular options for the Redmi Note 8T:
- 📱 LineageOS – pure Android without unnecessary applications
- 📱 Pixel Experience – firmware with Google Pixel interface
- 📱 Xiaomi.EU – modified MIUI publicity
Installation of custom firmware requires unlocking the bootloader and may be insecure.
⚠️ Warning: Unlocking the bootloader resets all data on the phone, and it can also cause problems with Widevine L1 (Downgrading streaming quality at Netflix, Disney+).
Instructions for installation of Xiaomi.EU:
- Unlock the bootloader through the Mi Unlock Tool
- Install TWRP Recovery for Redmi Note 8T
- Download the firmware Xiaomi.EU for the willow model

What happens if you interrupt the firmware?
5. Blocking Advertising via DNS and VPN
Another effective way to change DNS-servers VPN This will help filter out ad requests at the network level.
To change the DNS:
Settings → Wi-Fi → [Long-Tap Your Network] → Change Network → Additional → IP Settings → Static → DNS 1: 94.140.14.14, DNS 2: 94.140.15.15These DNSs from AdGuard block ad domains. Alternative options:
| DNS-server | IP-address | Features |
|---|---|---|
| AdGuard DNS | 94.140.14.14 | Blocks ads and trackers |
| Cloudflare Family | 1.1.1.3 | Filtering malicious sites |
| NextDNS | Individually | Flexible filtering settings |
For more secure locking, use VPN-applications with built-in ad blocker, for example:
- 🛡️ AdGuard VPN — Blocking Advertising at Network Level
- 🛡️ Blokada – does not require root rights
- 🛡️ NetGuard – a root-free blocker (needs Local) VPN)
6. Disabling Advertising in Google Services
Even after MIUI has been disabled, banners can be displayed on Google services to fix this:
- Open Google Settings (cog icon in the appbar)
- Go to Google Account Management
- Select Data and Personalization
- In the section "Advertising settings" disable "Personalization of advertising"
We also recommend that you disable Google Play Services from advertising:
Settings → Applications → Application Management → Google Play Services → Notifications → Disable AllThis won’t remove ads completely, but it will make them less intrusive in YouTube, Google Chrome, and other apps.
💡
If after disabling personalization, advertising still shows, clear the cache of Google Play Services and restart the phone.
7. Root methods: complete removal of advertising modules
If you're ready to get root rights, you can remove the advertising modules completely.
- Unlock the bootloader and install Magisk
- Download Disabler for Xiaomi EU/Global in Magisk
- Install the module and restart the phone
This module removes the system packages responsible for advertising:
- 🗑️ com.miui.systemAdSolution – the main advertising module
- 🗑️ com.xiaomi.mipicks – GetApps app with ads
- 🗑️ com.miui.analytics – statistics collection for targeted advertising
⚠️ Attention: Removing system packages can cause the phone to function unstable.Before deleting, back up through TWRP Or Orange Backup.
Once you remove the ad modules, some MIUI features (such as themes or cloud services) may not work properly, and this is the only way to remove ads completely, but it is only suitable for power users.
💡
Root methods give 100% results, but they are not warranty-free and can disrupt the stability of the system. Use them only if other methods have not worked.
