If you've ever looked at the running processes on a Xiaomi smartphone or tablet, you've probably noticed a strange service called Services Feedback. It runs in the background, consumes Internet traffic and sometimes even appears in notifications — but what does it actually do? Why doesn't Xiaomi explain its purpose in settings, and can it be safely disabled?
This service is part of the ecosystem. MIUI, But its role is often a mystery, even to power users, and in some cases, Services Feedback is really useful, helping to improve firmware, fix bugs, and optimize device performance, and in others, it's a waste of battery and data. In this article, we will look at what exactly this service collects and sends, how it affects privacy and performance, and what settings allow them to be managed without risk to the system.
What is Xiaomi Services Feedback and Why You Need It
Services Feedback (translated as “feedback service”) is a system application in the MIUI, It automatically collects data about the device and sends it to Xiaomi servers, and its main task is to help developers improve firmware, identify common errors and optimize the user experience.
The Service operates in the background and may collect the following information:
- 📱 System logs – records of crashes, freezes, and abnormal situations (e.g. sudden reboots or application errors).
- 🔋 Battery data – how fast the battery is discharged, which processes consume the most energy.
- 🌐 Network information – quality of connection with Wi-Fi, mobile Internet, connection problems.
- 🎯 Usage statistics - what functions MIUI popular among users, and which are almost not in demand.
It’s important to understand that Services Feedback doesn’t spy on personal data like messages or photos, but it focuses on technical metrics that help Xiaomi engineers make firmware more stable, but some users prefer to turn it off because of:
- 🔋 Unnecessary battery consumption (service periodically wakes up to send data).
- 📶 Mobile traffic consumption (especially for users with limited rates).
- 🛡️ Privacy concerns (even if the data is anonymous, not everyone likes the idea of collecting it).
How Services Feedback Affects Performance and Battery
One of the main questions users are the impact of Services Feedback on the autonomy and performance of the device. By default, the service starts automatically and runs in the background, which can affect:
1. Battery consumption. The service wakes up about once in a day. 24 It sends data to Xiaomi servers. It consumes little power on its own, but if the device already discharges too quickly, every unnecessary process matters. 12 and POCO X5 Pro has been documented that Services Feedback can add to 1-3% day-to-day expenditure on standby.
2. Internet use. Data is small, usually. 5-20 MB per month, but if you have a limited rate, it can be critical. MIUI The service sends data more often, which increases traffic to 50-100 MB/month.
3. CPU loading: During data collection and sending, the service may briefly load CPU, What is noticeable on weak devices (for example, Redmi) 9A or POCO C31). However, on flagships like Xiaomi 13 Ultra, this load is almost invisible.
| Parameter | Impact of Services Feedback | How to minimize |
|---|---|---|
| Battery consumption | Adds in. 1-3% day-to-day | Disable the service or limit background activity |
| Mobile traffic | 5-100 MB/month (depending on activity) | Prohibit the use of mobile data |
| CPU loading | Short-term peaks to 5-10% | On the flagships imperceptibly, on public sector - disconnect |
| Autonomy | Can reduce the working hours of 10-30 mines in active use | Disable or adjust restrictions |
⚠️ Note: If you are participating in a beta test program MIUI, Disabling Services Feedback may result in exclusion from the program.The service is mandatory for collecting error reports in test builds.
Where is the Services Feedback in the settings MIUI
Unlike many system applications, Services Feedback does not have a separate section in its settings, but it can be found and managed through:
Annex menu:
- 🔍 Open the Settings. → Annexes → Application management.
- 🔎 In the search box, enter Services Feedback.
- 📱 Select the app from the list (usually called com.miui.feedback).
Section "On the telephone":
- 📱 Go to Settings. → The phone. → Version. MIUI.
- 🔧 Click a few times on the string with the firmware version until the developer menu appears.
- 🔍 In some versions MIUI Here you can find the option "Send an error report" associated with Services Feedback.
3. via ADB (for advanced users):
If the service is not displayed in the interface, it can be disabled via the command:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.feedbackTo turn it on again:
adb shell pm enable com.miui.feedback💡
If you don’t see Services Feedback in the app list, try enabling system processes to be displayed in the developer settings (Settings) → Additionally. → For developers → Showing processes to all users).
Can I safely disable Services Feedback?
Yes, Services Feedback can be disabled without risking system stability, but with some caveats:
✅ What happens if you turn it off:
- ✔️ Collecting and sending technical data to Xiaomi servers will stop.
- ✔️ Reduced background battery consumption and traffic.
- ✔️ Notifications about collecting reports will disappear (if they annoy you).
❌ Possible consequences:
- ⚠️ You will not be able to send error reports through standard tools. MIUI.
- ⚠️ In beta versions of firmware, there may be problems with updates (the service sometimes checks the compatibility of the device).
- ⚠️ In rare cases, Xiaomi may restrict access to certain services (such as cloud backup) if it considers the device to be “incompatible".
On most devices (Redmi, POCO, Xiaomi MIUI 12-14) However, on some models (for example, Xiaomi Mi) the shutdown is without consequences. 11 Ultra with MIUI 13) After disconnecting, a notification of a “system component malfunction” may appear – it can be ignored.
Open Settings → Applications → Application Management
Find com.miui.feedback in the list
Click "Stop" or "Stop"
Restart the device (optional)

How to limit Services Feedback activity without completely shutting down
If you don’t want to completely disable the service, but want to reduce its impact on the device, you can apply a few tricks:
1. Limit background activity:
- 🔧 Go to Settings. → Annexes → Application management → Services Feedback.
- 🔋 Select "Battery" and set a limit on background work.
- 📵 In the "Mobile Data" section, prohibit the use of the Internet in the background.
2. disable automatic reporting:
- 📱 In some versions MIUI (for example, MIUI 14) there is an option Settings → Additionally. → Confidentiality → Improvement of the system.
- 🔧 Here you can turn off "Automatic reporting", leaving only manual mode.
3. Use the firewall:
Apps like NetGuard or AFWall+ (require root, allow you to block Services Feedback access to the Internet without completely shutting it down, this will prevent data from being sent, but the service will continue to collect logs (they just won’t go to the server).
4. Set up restrictions through Digital Wellbeing:
- 🕒 B Settings → Digital Well-Being Can Set Time Limits for Services Feedback.
- 🔕 This will not shut it down completely, but will reduce activity.
What to do if there are errors after the shutdown?
Linking Services Feedback to other Xiaomi system services
Services Feedback doesn’t work in isolation – it interacts with other components. MIUI, And that's a little bit confusing:
1.com.miui.analytics (Analytics) MIUI)
This service collects data about user experience (which settings you change, which apps you run). Services Feedback can transfer some of that data to generate error reports. Disabling one service doesn't always stop another.
2.com.miui.cloudservice (Xiaomi Cloud)
If you’re using cloud backup or sync, Services Feedback can send crash data to the cloud for diagnostics.This is useful if you’re having backup issues, but increases the network load.
3. com.android.updater (Update Center)
When checking for updates MIUI The feedback service can send information about the current firmware version and device compatibility, which helps Xiaomi distribute updates, but sometimes leads to delays in getting new builds.
4. com.miui.bugreport (Error Reports)
This is a manual version of Services Feedback that activates when you manually submit a bug report through Settings. → The phone. → Error report. It uses the same infrastructure, but the data is sent only at your initiative.
⚠️ Note: If you turn off Services Feedback but leave com.miui.analytics on, the data will still be collected — just not sent to servers.
