Why it’s important to log out of your Google account on Xiaomi

Many Redmi Note 8 Pro users underestimate the consequences of incorrectly deleting a Google account, and here are the key reasons why it is worth doing this by the instructions:

• 🔒 Protection FRP: Once you reset, the phone will require you to enter the last Google account you linked to, and if you didn’t log out in advance, the new owner won’t be able to activate the device.
• 📱 Data Sync: When you delete your account without first disabling sync, you may lose your contacts, Google Photos, or Keep Notes.
• 🔄 Problems with updates: On some firmware MIUI Google account blocks custom firmware installation via fastboot.

On the Redmi Note 8 Pro with MIUI 12 and later, the log-out process is different from standard Android due to the additional security layer from Xiaomi. For example, the system can request confirmation via SMS or password from a Mi Account, even if you delete only Google profile.

⚠️ Note: If you delete a Google account on a phone with an unlocked bootloader, a warning about an uncertified device may appear after the reboot.This is not a lockdown, but may restrict access to certain features, such as Google Pay.
