Stuck in Google Play on your Xiaomi Redmi and not sure how to get out? Maybe you want to change your account, remove your device binding, or just close an app that's hanging on the screen. Unlike iPhone, where exiting the App Store is intuitive, on Android devices (especially those with a MIUI shell), this process can raise questions. For example, many users confuse leaving a Google account and simply closing the Play Store app.
In this article, we will discuss 5 proven ways to exit Google Play on Xiaomi Redmi (relevant to the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, Redmi 11 Prime, Redmi A1+ and others). You will learn how to properly terminate a session, delete an account, reset a cache and even what to do if the “Get Out” button is inactive. All instructions are tested on MIUI 14 and Android 13/12, but will also be suitable for older versions.
Important! Certain actions (such as deleting your Google account) can lead to loss of access to purchased applications, backups and data synchronization. №1 №2.
1. How to Close Google Play (without logging out)
If you need to temporarily close the Play Store but stay in your Google account, use standard methods for managing Android apps.
On Xiaomi Redmi, there are two ways to close the app:
- Swipe up (for new versions) MIUI): 📱 Swipe your finger up the screen and hold for 1 second to open the latest app menu. 🔍 Find a Google Play card (usually with a green icon). 🖐️ Write it up or sideways – the app will close.
Back button
- 🔙 Press the Back button (the triangle at the bottom of the screen) several times until you return to the home screen.
- ⚠️ This method does not guarantee complete closure – the application can remain in the background.
What should I do if the error remains?
- 📶 Check your internet connection (better to use Wi-Fi).
- ⏳ Wait 10-15 minutes – sometimes Google servers are temporarily unavailable.
- 🔧 Update Google Play Services manually through the Play Store.
