You're waiting for a Xiaomi banner to appear on your smartphone, TV or other ecosystem device? Perhaps it's a promotion, a MIUI update, gadget discounts, or even a system notification of a new firmware. In this article, we'll look at when banners appear, how to check for them manually, and what to do if they disappear or don't appear at all.
Note that Xiaomi banners are not only ads, but also important system alerts. For example, the notification of the release of MIUI 15 or promotions on the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ can appear as a banner on the home screen, their appearance depends on the region, device model, firmware version and even the settings of the Mi Account.
Why Xiaomi banners do not appear at all and not immediately
If your friend has already seen a banner ad on Xiaomi 14 Ultra and you don’t have one on Redmi Note 12, that’s OK.
- 🌍 Region and country – banners are often tied to local promotions (for example, discounts on AliExpress for Russia or India).
- 📱 Model of the device - flagships (Xiaomi) 13T, Mix Fold 3 Gets Banners Before Budget Models.
- 🔄 Version MIUI — obsolete firmware (e.g., obsolete firmware, MIUI 12.5) may not support new types of banners.
- 👤 Mi Account Status – Unauthorized users or accounts without a linked card may see fewer ads.
- ⚙️ Device settings – Disabled notifications from MiuiSystemAdSolution block banners.
In addition, Xiaomi uses the A/B-Testing: Banners show first 10% If you're not in the first wave, you're going to have to wait hours to a week.
Official dates of the appearance of banners: where to look for announcements
If you are interested in a specific banner (for example, about the launch of Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro or the upgrade to HyperOS), check the official sources:
| Source | Type of information | Reference (example) |
|---|---|---|
| Official Xiaomi website | Start dates of shares, releases of new devices | mi.com/global/event |
| MIUI Community | Banner discussions, screenshots of users | c.mi.com/thread-... |
| Telegram channels (Mi Community Russia) | Alerts about new banners in real time | @mi_russia |
| Mi Home appendix | Banners for smart devices (Mi Band 8, Mi Robot Vacuum) | Section “Shares” in the annex |
Important: banners about system updates (for example, the transition from MIUI to HyperOS) appear strictly on Xiaomi’s schedule, which does not always coincide with the announcements. For example, the update for the Redmi Note 11 can be delayed for 2-3 months after the official release.
⚠️ Note: Some banners (e.g., beta firmware testing) are only shown to users with a Mi Account attached over 3 months old.
How to manually check the presence of banners on Xiaomi
If the banner should have appeared but it is not, follow these steps:
- Update the applications: 📱 Open Google Play → My apps. → Update to MiuiSystemAdSolution, Mi Browser and Mi Community. 🔄 For devices without Google (such as Xiaomi for China), use the Software Update in the settings.

What to do if Xiaomi banners are lost or do not work
Sometimes banners appear but disappear after a few seconds or don't open when you click.

| The banner "hangs" on the screen | Rendering error in MiuiSystemAdSolution | Clear the application data in the settings |
⚠️ Warning: If, after clicking on the banner, the device redirects to a suspicious site (not mi.com), it may be a virus. Immediately scan the smartphone with an antivirus (for example, Mi Security) and reset the network settings in Settings → SIM-maps and mobile networks → Resetting settings.
