How to permanently disable advertising in the app Music on Xiaomi: all ways 2026

Why Mi Music is advertizing and can it be removed forever?

The standard Mi Music app (or Music in Russian localization) on Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO smartphones has long been a byword among users. On the one hand, it offers a user-friendly interface, integration with cloud storage and support for most audio formats. On the other hand, aggressive advertising in the player spoils the entire impression: banners between tracks, pop-up windows at launch and even advertising blocks in playlists.

Unlike advertising in the MIUI-The shell (which can be disabled through account settings), banners in Mi Music are managed separately, the manufacturer positions them as “personalized recommendations”, but in fact these are regular advertising inserts from Xiaomi partners. You can remove them without root rights and third-party modifications — just know the hidden settings and a few tricks. In this article, we will discuss 5 proven methods, including methods for different versions. MIUI (12 to 14 and smartphone models.

It's important to understand that some methods can temporarily block ads, and others can permanently delete them, but with the risk of resetting after an app update, and we will indicate the level of complexity of each method and its "survivability" after updates.

Method 1: Disabling personalized advertising in MIUI settings

The easiest and safest method is to use the built-in MIUI tools. It doesn't remove ads completely, but it reduces the amount of ads significantly, and is suitable for all models, including the POCO X6 Pro, Redmi 13C and older devices on MIUI 12/13/14.

Instructions:

Open Settings → Google → Advertising (if there is no item, skip the step).
Turn off the Personalized Ads option and reset the Advertising Identifier.
Go back to the basic settings and go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
Find Mi Music (or Music), open its settings and select Permissions.
Turn off the Warehouse, Microphone and Location permissions (if they are active).
Then go to Notifications and deactivate all switches.

This method reduces the frequency of displaying banners by 60-70%, but does not remove them completely, and advertising can appear when you connect to the Internet or launch playlists.

💡

If your MIUI version doesn’t have Google → Advertising, try an alternative path: Settings → Memory → Cleanup → Cleanup settings → Personalized recommendations and disable them.

Method 2: Blocking Ads by Restricting Mobile Data

The banner ads in Mi Music are downloaded from the Internet, so they can be blocked at the network traffic level, which works even without root rights and does not require additional applications to be installed.

How to set up:

📱 Open the Settings. → SIM-maps and mobile networks → Transfer of data.

After that, the ads will stop loading, but some features of the player (for example, online radio) will become unavailable. If you want album covers, use offline mode or third-party players like Poweramp.

What if the player stops playing music?

If Mi Music refuses to play local tracks after blocking the data, check: 1. Storage Access Permits (must be enabled). 2. Power Saving Settings: add the player to the list No Limits in Settings → Battery → Application Selection. 3. Reboot your smartphone – sometimes the system resets the app cache.

Method 3: Remove Advertising through ADB (without root)
