Why Get Apps shows notifications and can they be turned off?

Get Apps (com.xiaomi.mipicks) is a Xiaomi app store pre-installed on all Redmi smartphones. It performs two functions:

• 📱 App recommendation – offers installation of popular software (often duplicated Google Play).
• 💰 Monetization – Xiaomi earns revenue from partner programs for installations.

The problem is that Get Apps ignores notification settings and keeps spamming even after manually disabling alerts.

• 🔄 Automatically reset settings after updates MIUI.
• 📛 System rights – the application is protected from removal without root.
• 🤖 Background processes that restart when connected to the Internet.

Can I turn off Get Apps forever? Yes, but the ways are different in complexity:

⚠️ Note: Some Redmi models (e.g. Redmi Note 11 Pro)+ 5G) Get Apps is integrated into MIUI Launcher. its complete removal can lead to failures in the main screen.

Method 1: Disable notifications in settings (without root)

The easiest method is to block alerts from Get Apps via the standard menu, which works on all versions of MIUI, but can reset once the system is updated.

Instructions:

1. Open Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. In the search box, enter Get Apps (or the App Store on Russian firmware).
3. Select the app and go to Notifications.
4. Turn off the display notification slider.
5. For reliability, block the sound and vibration.

If you don't have a Notification, then your firmware, Get Apps, is hidden in the system settings.

1. Press the notification from Get Apps in the curtain.
2. Click on Notification Settings (or Disable).
3. Choose to turn it off.

All types of notifications (pop-ups, icons, sounds) are prohibited |

In the battery settings, Get Apps does not have auto-run rights|-->

This method works on 70-80% of devices, but it has drawbacks:

• 🔄 After updating MIUI settings may reset.
• 📱 Some notifications (such as “recommended games”) still slip.
• 🔋 The application continues to work in the background and consume the battery.

⚠️ Attention: On firmware MIUI 14 for global version (Global) ROM) The Notification point may be blocked. In this case, proceed to Method 2.

Method 2: Limiting background activity (battery savings)

If disabling notifications didn’t help, limit Get Apps through battery settings.This will prevent the app from auto-starting and reduce spam.

How to do this:

1. Go to Settings → Battery and Performance → Battery Consumption Management.
2. Select Applications (or Apps on new versions).
3. Find Get Apps in the list and click on it.
4. Set the mode to limit background activity.
5. Turn off Auto Start and Background Activity.

We further recommend:

• 🔌 Disable Mobile Data in the background for Get Apps (in Settings) → SIM-maps and mobile networks → Transfer of data).
• 📵 Disable Internet access through Settings → Annexes → Get Apps → Data data.

This method doesn't remove the application, but it reduces the activity of the application significantly, minus: after resetting or updating the MIUI, you will have to repeat the procedure.
