How to set up SMS delivery notifications on Xiaomi smartphones: all ways

Receipt SMS-Order status alerts are a convenient way to track delivery without constant checks on the store's website or app.On Xiaomi smartphones (including Redmi models, POCO and Black Shark) setting such notifications depends on several factors: the messenger used, the operator and even the firmware version. MIUI. In this article, we will analyze all working methods - from standard settings to bypassing typical problems.

If you often order products online, this guide will help to avoid missed notifications about the courier at the door.

If you use a third-party messenger (like Google Messages or Textra), reconfigure SMS and notification rights in it, and some apps block the gray numbers that logistics companies often use by default.
