Xiaomi Privacy Notice: How to Turn Off Forever (2026)

Privacy notices on Xiaomi devices appear with enviable regularity — after updates, when apps are first launched, or even for no apparent reason. These pop-ups asking for confirmation of data collection annoy many users, especially if you have already agreed with the policy before. Unlike similar notifications on iPhone or Samsung, where they can be disabled in two clicks, in MIUI this process is often hidden in the depths of settings or there is no obvious switch at all.

Complicating the problem, Xiaomi is actively integrating its services — Mi Account, Mi Cloud, GetApps — each of which can request privacy confirmation separately. Even after disabling basic options, notifications can continue to appear due to system applications like Security or Browser. In this article, we will analyze all possible ways from standard settings to hidden commands for power users, including methods for devices with global (Global) and Chinese (China) firmware.

Why Privacy Notices Are Reappearing Over and Over

The main reason for the constant pop-ups is the modular architecture of MIUI. Unlike pure Android, where the privacy policy is confirmed once, in Xiaomi firmware, each system component can request consent separately.

• 🔄 Update MIUI — After installing the new version of the system, all permissions are reset and notifications appear again.
• 📱 First running an app – even system utilities (such as Mi Video or Music) can request confirmation.
• 🌐 Change of region – if you change the country in the settings of the Mi Account, you may need to re-consent.
• ⚙️ Resetting – any reset (including resetting advertising) ID) returns.

In addition, on Chinese-based devices (such as the Xiaomi 13 Ultra China ROM), privacy notices can be tied to mandatory services like Mi Pay or Mi Home, which cannot be disabled without root rights. Global versions are easier, but there are pitfalls, such as notifications from Google Play Services, which masquerade as system.

⚠️ Attention: On devices with MIUI 14/15 European region (EEA) Part of the privacy notices is conditioned by the requirements GDPR. Disabling them completely could violate local data protection laws.

Method 1: Disconnect via standard MIUI settings

To begin with, the most obvious method that works on most Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO global firmware devices is a non-root-rights approach that is suitable for users who don’t want to go into technical details.

1. Open Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. In the upper right corner, press three dots (⋮) and select Special Access.
3. Scroll down and find Show over other windows (or Display pop-up windows in English firmware).
4. In the list, find Security, Mi Account and GetApps apps – disable pop-up permissions for them.

This method blocks the notifications from being displayed visually, but it doesn't stop the notifications from being generated by the system. That is, the privacy requests themselves will still come, but you won't see them.

Open any system application (e.g. Mi Video)

Method 2: Resetting Advertising ID and Limiting Personalization

Many privacy notices are linked to Xiaomi’s personalized advertising system, and even if you opt out of data collection, some modules will request confirmation periodically to stop this from happening:

1. Go to Settings → Google → Ads (or Passwords & Security → Privacy → Ads on some firmware).
2. Click Reset Advertising ID and confirm the action.
3. Go back to the basic settings and open Additional → Privacy → Advertising Personalization.
4. Turn off all switches related to recommendations and analytics.

After this action, notifications from GetApps and Mi Browser should disappear, but this method does not affect the system notifications from Security or Mi Account.

💡

If you don't have Ad Personalization, try changing your device region to India or Russia in the Additional → Region settings, which will unlock hidden options in some firmware.

Method 3: Use ADB-Teams for experienced users

If standard methods do not help, you can resort to ADB-This method requires connecting the device to the computer and enabling developer mode, but allows you to disable notifications at the system level.

First, activate the Developer Mode:

1. Open the Settings. → The phone.
2. Click on MIUI Version 7 times until the message “You are a developer” appears.
3. Return to Settings → Additional → For developers and enable USB debugging.

Now connect the device to your PC and execute the following commands in the terminal (pre-installing ADB Tools):

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


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




adb shell pm hide com.miui.systemAdSolution

These commands disable the system components responsible for privacy notices.

• 🔧 After execution, you may lose access to Mi Cloud and some security features.
• 🔄 To get it back, use the adb shell pm enable command instead of disable-user.
• ⚠️ On some firmware (for example, MIUI China) these commands can cause system applications to crash.

Method 4: Remove system applications (root required)

For users with unlocked bootloaders and root rights, there is a radical method – removing system applications that generate notifications – which is only suitable for advanced users, as it can lead to unstable device operation.

List of apps that can be safely removed (using Root Explorer or Titanium Backup):

• com.miui.analytics is Xiaomi’s analytics module.
• com.xiaomi.account – Mi Account (remove access to the cloud!)
• com.miui.systemAdSolution is a personalized advertising system.
• com.android.browser is a standard MIUI browser (if you use an alternative).

⚠️ Note: Deleting com.xiaomi.account will result in loss of access to Mi Cloud, Find Device and other Xiaomi services, and can only be restored through a full reset.

Alternatively, you can freeze applications with Titanium Backup or Lucky Patcher, which is less risky because it allows you to get it back without resetting, for example, freezing com.miui.analytics will stop collecting statistics, but it won't disrupt the system.

Method 5: Switching to custom firmware (for advanced)

If none of these methods worked, the last resort is to install custom firmware like LineageOS, Pixel Experience or ArrowOS, which lacks Xiaomi system services and therefore privacy notices.

The installation process shall include:

1. Unlocking the bootloader through the official Xiaomi tool (can take up to 72 hours).
2. Installation of custom recavery (TWRP or OrangeFox).
3. Flash firmware and GApps (if you need Google services).

Advantages:

• ✅ Complete lack of privacy notices from Xiaomi.
• ✅ Cleaner and faster Android without unnecessary services.
• ✅ Regular security updates.

Disadvantages:

• ❌ Loss of warranty (if the device is under warranty).
• ❌ Lack of certain functions MIUI (Second Space or Game Turbo).
• ❌ Risk of "bricking" of the device when installed incorrectly.

💡

Custom firmware is the only way to get rid of Xiaomi system notifications completely, but it requires technical skills and time to set up.

What to do if notifications are returned after reset

Even after successful disabling, privacy notices may reappear after:

• 🔄 Updates MIUI (especially major versions like 14 → 15).
• 📲 Resetting settings to factory.
• 🔧 Log in to another Mi Account account.

To prevent their return:

1. Create a backup of settings through Settings → Additional → Backup (exclude system applications).
2. Turn off automatic MIUI update in Settings → About Phone → System Update (three points → Update settings).
3. Use a notification blocker like AutoNotification (requires Tasker or MacroDroid).

If notifications return after the update, repeat steps from Method 1 or Method 3 (ADB). On devices with MIUI 15, you may need to additionally disable the com.miui.personalassistant service - it is responsible for new "smart" notifications.
