Many people mistakenly believe that it is enough to remove the Mi Fitness app (formerly Mi Fit) — but this does not break the connection between the wristband and the Xiaomi account. As a result, the new owner will not be able to link the device to his phone, and you will lose access to statistics. In this article, we will discuss all the working methods of detachment, including hidden functions and bypassing possible locks.

The Mi Band 6 feature is that there is no physical reset button (unlike the Mi Band 5), so some methods require you to access an app or account. If you forget your Mi Account password, the process gets complicated - but we'll show you how to get out of the situation.

═══

1. Uncoupling through the Mi Fitness app (official method)

The most reliable and recommended method by the manufacturer is to use an official app, which is suitable if you have access to the phone to which the bracelet is attached and you remember the data from the Xiaomi account.

Algorithm of action:

1. Open the Mi Fitness app on your phone.
2. Go to the Profile section → My devices.
3. Click on the Mi Band 6 icon in the list of connected gadgets.
4. Select Untie Device (or Remove Device in older versions of the app).
5. Confirm the action in the pop-up window.

After that, the bracelet will be removed from your account and you can link it to another phone, and the important thing is that if the app does not have an "Untie" button, upgrade Mi Fitness to the latest version via Google Play or the App Store - the interface may differ in older versions.

Synchronize data with the bracelet (so you don’t lose statistics)

Connect your phone to Wi-Fi or mobile internet

Make sure your phone is Bluetooth enabled.

The charge of the bracelet must be at least 20%-->

If the bracelet does not appear in the list of available devices on the new phone after detachment, do a soft reset: press the Mi Band 6 touch button for 10 seconds until you feel the vibration. This will restart the device and reset the current connection.

2.Reset Mi Band 6 to factory settings

If you lose access to the Mi Fitness app (for example, you sold your phone or deleted your account), the only way to break the connection is to completely reset the bracelet. This method is also useful if the device is getting stuck or not syncing.

Resetting instructions:

1. On the bracelet, go to the menu by swiping up the screen.
2. Find the Settings section (cog icon).
3. Scroll down to Reset (or Reset in English firmware).
4. Confirm the action by clicking the tick.

The bracelet will be rebooted and all data (including account binding) will be erased, warning that once reset, it will be impossible to recover training, footsteps and sleep statistics, which are stored only in the Mi Account cloud.

Once reset, the bracelet will be ready for a new binding, but if it was previously linked to a Xiaomi account, the new owner may encounter a login/password request when trying to sync, in which case additional unbundling through the web version of Mi Account (more about this in the next section).

3. Uncoupling via the web version of Mi Account (if you do not have access to the phone)

If you lost your phone, but remember the data from your Xiaomi account, you can delete the bracelet through your browser, which is also relevant if the Mi Fitness app does not see the device or shows a sync error.

Step-by-step:

1. Go to the Mi Account website and log in.
2. In the Devices (or Connected Devices) section, find the Mi Band 6.
3. Click on the three dots next to the device and select Remove.
4. Confirm the action by SMS or email (if two-factor authentication is enabled).

If the bracelet is not listed, try:

• 🔄 Update the page (sometimes the data is loaded with a delay).
• 📱 Connecting a different phone with the Mi Fitness app and logging in under the same account can wake up the device in the cloud.
• 🕒 Wait 24 hours – sometimes Xiaomi servers are delayed by device status updates.

Through the Mi Fitness app

Resetting the bracelet to factory settings

Through the web version of Mi Account

Never untied.

Another way.-->

Once removed via the web interface, the bracelet is automatically unlocked for new binding, but if it is stolen or lost, this method will not help lock the device remotely – Xiaomi does not provide such a feature for fitness bracelets (unlike smartphones).

4. Alternative detachment methods (if nothing works)

In rare cases, standard methods fail, such as if the bracelet is tied to a remote account or blocked after unsuccessful entry attempts. PIN-Let's look at the non-obvious solutions.

4.1 Use a second phone with the same account

If you have access to a Xiaomi account but the original phone is not available:

1. Install Mi Fitness on another smartphone.
2. Sign in under the same account.
3. Wait until the bracelet appears in the list of devices (can take up to 5 minutes).
4. Untie it in the standard way (see section 1).

Reset via the engineering menu (for advanced users)

This method requires connecting the bracelet to the PC and using it. ADB-It's only suitable for power users, because doing the wrong thing can make the device go down.

Steps required:

• 🖥️ Install Mi Fit on PC via BlueStack emulator or NoxPlayer.
• 🔌 Connect the bracelet to the emulator via Bluetooth.
• 📟 Use it. ADB-Resetting commands: adb shell am start -n com.xiaomi.hm.health/com.xiaomi.hm.health.device.DeviceResetActivity

💡

If the bracelet is not detected via Bluetooth on a PC, try using specialized utilities like Mi Band Tools (available on GitHub), which allow you to send commands to reset directly, bypassing official software.

Appeal in support of Xiaomi

If all methods are exhausted, and the bracelet is still tied to someone else's account, contact support:

• 📧 Write to support@xiaomi.com Theme: Unlink Mi Band 6".
• 📄 Attach a purchase check or a photo of a box with a serial number.
• 🔍 Indicate. IMEI bracelet (can be found on the box or in the device settings).

The timeframe for processing the request is 3 to 7 days, and attention: without proof of purchase, support is unlikely to help, as a measure against theft.

5. Frequent errors and their solutions

When you uncouple the Mi Band 6, you're going to have a typical problem, and we're going to look at some of the most common problems and how to fix them.

If the bracelet does not connect to the new phone after the detachment, check:

• 📱 Smartphone compatibility: Mi Band 6 officially supports Android 6.0+ iOS 10.0+.
• 🔄 Application version: Mi Fitness should include the option "Scan devices nearby".
• 🔋 Bracelet charge: at a level below 15%, the connection may be interrupted.

💡

If the bracelet was linked to an account with a Chinese region, a new link may require changing the region in the Mi Account settings to “Russia” or “Global”.

6. How to avoid problems when selling or transferring the bracelet

If you're planning to sell or give away the Mi Band 6, it's not enough to untie it from your phone, so that the new owner doesn't run into problems, complete the full training cycle:

Checklist before transfer:

• ✅ Untie the bracelet from your Xiaomi account (section 1 or 3).
• ✅ Reset the device to factory settings (Section 2).
• ✅ Remove the bracelet from the list of trusted devices in your phone’s Bluetooth settings.
• ✅ Keep a backup of the data (if you need statistics).

If the bracelet was given to a child or person with no experience using smart devices, set up a new Xiaomi account for him in advance and link the Mi Band 6 to it, which will eliminate the need to deal with the decoupling in the future.

💡

When selling through Avito or Yulu, indicate in the description that the bracelet is completely detached from the account, which will increase customer confidence and reduce the number of questions.

Warning: If you buy the Mi Band 6 handheld, be sure to check if it is untethered from the previous owner. ask the seller to demonstrate a reset or tether to your phone. Otherwise, you risk getting a "brick" that will require the data of the old account.

1. Open Mi Fitness and go to Profile → My devices.
2. Click on Mi Band 6 and select Disable the device.
3. Go to the iPhone Settings → Bluetooth and forget about Mi Band 6.
4. Reboot your iPhone and bracelet.
5. Re-attach the bracelet via Mi Fitness (if you need to connect to another account).

If the bracelet does not connect to the new iPhone after undocking, do:
