Xiaomi and Redmi users often find themselves unable to quickly find their way to checkout lists after adding products to an online store, due to the interface of the MIUI or HyperOS shell, as well as the differences in navigation within the marketplace applications themselves.
In this article, we will discuss in detail how to access the list of selected products in the most popular applications such as AliExpress, Ozon, Wildberries, as well as in the standard Chrome browser. We will look at hidden menus, icon features and system settings that can affect the display of interface elements, your goal is to minimize search time and go directly to purchase.
It is worth noting that the location of controls can vary depending on the version of the Android operating system and the specific version of the installed application. However, the basic principles of navigation remain unchanged for most devices in the Redmi Note and Xiaomi Mi line.
Search for a basket in popular marketplaces
Most major marketplaces use a unified navigation scheme, but they make their own unique design changes. In AliExpress, the cart icon is traditionally located in the lower right corner of the home screen. This is the standard location typical of international versions of the app. If you don't see it right away, maybe the interface is hidden because of the banner ad.
In the case of Russian services like Ozon and Wildberries, the logic is slightly different. In Ozon, the basket icon is in the bottom navigation bar, often combined with the meter. The Wildberries app takes this feature to the bottom right corner using the bag icon or cart icon. It is important to look carefully at the bottom bar of the screen, where the main menu is concentrated.
⚠️ Note: In some versions of marketplace applications, the cart icon may disappear if the shopping list is empty.
For Xiaomi devices with aggressive memory optimization, application background processes sometimes unload. If the shopping cart doesn't show up or shows a boot error when you go to the application, try closing the program completely through the running task menu and opening it again, an action that often solves the interface rendering problem.
Working with a basket in the Chrome browser on Redmi
If you prefer to shop through the web using Google Chrome on your Redmi, the shopping cart search procedure will be different. In the mobile version of any site, the shopping cart button is usually located in the upper right corner of the screen or hidden in a menu marked with three horizontal or vertical dots.
Chrome has a separate download and save management feature that is sometimes confused with a shopping cart. To see your download history, click on three dots in the upper right corner and select Downloads. However, for purchases, you need a shopping cart of a particular online store, which is part of a web page, not a browser function.
The ease of using a browser on Xiaomi increases the ability to add a site shortcut directly to the desktop, which allows you not to search for a site in history every time, but to open it as a separate application, in which case the navigation inside the site remains the same as on the computer, but adapted to the touch screen.
Often users forget that the shopping cart in the browser is tied to an account or cookies. If you clear the browser data through the MIUI settings, the list of products may disappear. Therefore, before cleaning the cache, it is recommended to save important positions in the Favorites inside the store itself.
💡
Use the Full Site Mode in the Chrome browser menu (three dots → Full Version) if the mobile version of the page doesn’t display the Recycle Bin button or doesn’t work properly.
System basket and clipboard MIUI
There is a concept of a system basket in Android and MIUI, but it refers to deleted files, photos or messages, not products in stores. For example, in the Gallery app, deleted photos are included in the “Recently Deleted” album, which is stored for 30 days, an important mechanism for protecting against accidental data loss.
Xiaomi also has an advanced clipboard, so when you copy text or a product link, that information is temporarily stored in the system memory, you can access your copy history by calling a keyboard or using special widgets, which is useful if you compare prices in different stores and copy model names.
To manage files, the standard Explorer app also has a shopping cart, so to get there, you have to open the app, click on the menu, and select the appropriate item, and it stores deleted documents and apk files, and cleaning this partition frees up the device's internal memory.
The difference between a system basket and a store
Instructions: How to find hidden interface elements
Sometimes controls, including the cart, can be hidden due to theme or font size settings. In MIUI, it is possible to resize interface elements. If the font is set to the maximum value, the basket button can "go" outside the visible area of the screen or be blocked by other elements.
To correct the situation, follow the following steps:
1. Open the settings of your Redmi smartphone.
2. Go to Screen or Additional (depending on the OS version).
3. Find the text size and display item.
4. Set the default value or zoom in to check if the interface element was hidden.
☑️ Checking the display settings
Another reason could be the Full-screen App mode enabled or the notch hiding under the camera, which sometimes shifts the layout of sites and apps. Try turning off application-specific optimization in battery settings, as aggressive energy saving can block some graphic elements, including action icons, from loading.
If the problem is only in one app, you may need to reinstall it. Go to Settings → Apps → All apps, find the marketplace you want, and select Delete. Then download the latest version from the official Google Play store or GetApps.
Table: Location of the basket in different applications
For a quick orientation, we have prepared a summary table that shows the typical location of the basket control in popular services on Xiaomi devices.
| Application/Service | Location of the icon | Type of icon | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| AliExpress | Lower right corner | Cart | You can always see it on the main menu. |
| Ozon | Bottom panel (center/right) | A cart with a number | The figure shows the number of goods |
| Wildberries | Lower right corner | Bag/Basket | Can be hidden with an empty list |
| Yandex.Market. | Bottom panel. | Basket | Integrated into the bottom menu |
| Google Chrome | Depends on the site. | Different. | Usually on the top right or on the menu |
This table will help you navigate if you are using a service for the first time on your new Redmi smartphone. Interfaces can be updated, but the principles of placement of navigation elements remain conservative for the sake of user convenience.
Solving Display and Failure Problems
The most common problem on Xiaomi smartphones is that applications are not working properly due to a lack of RAM. MIUI is known for its strict resource management. If the application “flys out” when trying to open the cart or shows a white screen, you need to check the memory settings.
It is recommended to add frequently used stores to the list of energy saving exceptions. Go to Settings → Battery → Settings and select No Limits mode for the desired application. This will prevent forced stop of background processes, which is especially important for the correct operation of push notifications about discounts and changes in the shopping list.
⚠️ Warning: Do not install third-party memory accelerators or cleaners from unverified sources, which may conflict with Xiaomi’s system optimization and cause even more frequent app crashes.
Also worth checking the availability of updates to the application itself in the GetApps store or Google Play. Developers regularly release patches that fix layout bugs, which can manifest themselves in the nanoresolution screens of Redmi smartphones.
💡
Stable operation of the cart and applications depends not only on the store itself, but also on the correct settings of energy saving and memory in the system. MIUI/HyperOS.
