How to remove notifications in Yandex Browser on Xiaomi phone

Many Xiaomi smartphone users often encounter intrusive spam that appears at the top of the screen or in the notification curtain. This information noise is often caused by the popular Yandex Browser, which by default allows sites to send push messages. This can be news, advertising, discount notifications or just annoying reminders from various web resources that you visited.

For Xiaomi owners with MIUI or HyperOS shells, this is especially annoying, as the system tends to duplicate alerts or highlight them with color. Fortunately, the Android architecture allows you to manage these processes flexibly. You don't need to delete the application, you just need to properly configure internal settings and system permissions.

In this article, we will discuss in detail all the ways to completely disable notifications in Yandex Browser on Xiaomi, while maintaining the functionality of the application itself for comfortable surfing. We will go from simple settings inside the browser to deep system locking, so that no unnecessary message bothers you anymore.

Disabling flies inside the settings of Yandex Browser

The first and most logical step is to address the internal settings of the app itself, and that's where the switch is, which is responsible for the global permission to send notifications on behalf of the browser, and if you want to stop receiving any messages completely, this method will be the most effective.

First, you open the app and go to the menu, which is usually represented by three dots or stripes at the bottom or top of the screen, find Settings, then go down to the Notifications section, and here you will see a switch that activates or deactivates the message display.

However, users often don't need complete silence, but selective filtering, and in the same section you can find a list of categories, such as "News", "Recommendations" or "Download Status", and if you turn off the extra, you will leave only important system messages, such as the completion of a file download.

⚠️ Note: After updating the Yandex Browser application, some settings may reset to factory values. It is recommended to periodically check this section to make sure that the lock is still active.

Also worth noting is the Additional section in the settings, which may hide the option "Show news on the scoreboard." Even if the fluffs are disabled, the visual noise on the start page can be distracting.

Managing permissions in the Android system on Xiaomi

If the internal browser settings do not give the desired result or you want to guarantee to block any pop-ups at the operating system level, you should use the tools MIUI or HyperOS. Android provides powerful controls over each installed application.

Go to the basic settings of your Xiaomi smartphone. Find the Apps section and select All Apps. In the list that opens, look for Yandex. Click on it to open the app card, which stores all the information about access rights.

In the app menu, look for the Notifications item, and here you'll see a detailed "Show Notifications" switch, and if you turn it off, you completely isolate the browser from being able to display anything on the lock screen or status bar, and the system will alert you to the consequences of this action.

• 📱 Complete ban: Disables all types of alerts, including background processes.
• 🔔 Audio: You can leave visual display, but remove sound and vibration.
• 🔒 Lock screen: Allow display only when unlocked phone.
• 📢 Icon: Remove the red circle with the number of unread messages.

It is important to note that in newer versions of the Xiaomi shell, the path to settings may be slightly different, sometimes the item "Notifications" is placed directly in the main menu of the app settings, and sometimes hidden in the subitem "Additional permissions".

Blocking notifications from specific sites

Often the source of irritation is not the system messages of Yandex Browser, but the fluff from specific sites that you once accidentally subscribed to, it can be a news portal, an online store or an entertainment resource, you need to block them individually.

Open Yandex Browser and click on the lock or shield icon in the address bar (right or left of the site address). In the drop-down menu, select Site Settings. Here will be the Notifications item. Switch it to the "Block" or "Request permission" position.

For a deeper cleaning, you should review the full list of permitted sites. In your browser settings, go to Sites -> Notifications. This displays a list of all resources that have the right to send you messages. You can delete any site from the list or ban them all at once.

This method is especially useful if you use a browser to work and you only need notifications from certain services, such as a mailbox or messenger, but not from advertising networks.

Use of "No Sound" and "Do Not Disturb" modes

In situations where temporary silence is required, such as during a meeting, movie session or sleep, there is no need to completely reconfigure the browser. Xiaomi shell offers ready-made scenarios for such cases that effectively drown out Yandex Browser along with other applications.

Do Not Disturb can be activated through the notification curtain or in the audio settings, and you can set exceptions to it, leaving only select contacts to call, while completely blocking visual and audio signals from browsers and games.

Also worth paying attention to the function of the Game or Game Turbo. If you add Yandex Browser to the list of gaming applications (which is sometimes done to speed up the work of heavy web pages), then when it starts, the notification and call blocking mode will automatically be activated.

To set the silence schedule, go to Settings -> Sound and vibration -> Do not disturb. Here you can set time intervals, for example, from 23:00 to 07:00, when the phone will automatically ignore incoming fuss from all applications, including Yandex.

Clearing the cache and resetting browser settings

Sometimes the notification problem is technical: cache errors accumulate, old permissions conflict, or configuration files are corrupted, in which case a simple lock may not work and a more radical approach is needed – resetting.

Go to Settings phone -> Apps -> All apps -> Yandex. Select Memory. Here you will see two buttons: "Clear cache" and "Clear all data." The first is secure and deletes temporary files, the second will return the browser to the "as after installation".

⚠️ Note: When you select Clear All Data, you will log out of all accounts and your sync settings, passwords (if not saved in the cloud) and download history may be reset.

Once the data is cleared, the browser will request permissions again on the first run, and be careful at this point: when the request for "Allow Notifications" appears, immediately click "Disallow" to prevent the problem from recurring.

💡

Expert advice: Before clearing the data, make sure that your passwords and bookmarks are synchronized with your Yandex account. To do this, go to the profile and check the synchronization status so as not to lose important data.

Frequent Questions and Problem Solutions (FAQ)

Even following the instructions, users may encounter nuances that depend on the version of MIUI or a particular smartphone model, and here are the answers to the most common questions that will help eliminate the remaining difficulties.

💡

Full control over notifications is achieved only by a combination of in-app settings and Android system limitations at the MIUI/HyperOS level.

To sum up, getting rid of intrusive spam on Xiaomi is a solvable task, the main thing is to consistently check the settings of the application itself, system permissions and a list of specific sites, which will give you a clean interface and peace of mind when using your smartphone.
