Why are not iOS 13 notifications on Xiaomi?

The main reason is different ecosystems. Apple uses a closed notification system called APNs (Apple Push Notification Service), which is not directly compatible with MIUI. Even if you enable sync via iCloud or Google account, notifications from the iPhone will not automatically appear on Xiaomi.

• 🚫 No native integration: Xiaomi does not support direct notifications from iOS;
• 🔒 Apple restrictions: iOS 13 blocks notifications to third-party devices without jailbreak;
• 📵 Problems with background work: Applications to MIUI They can kill the system by interrupting synchronization;
• 🔄 Update Delays: Even through third-party services, notifications may come with lag before 5-10 seconds.

But there are workarounds: If you have the same messengers installed on both devices, like Telegram or WhatsApp, for example, you can enable notification synchronization through your account, but this will only work for specific applications, not all system notifications.

Method 1: Using cross-platform synchronization messengers

The easiest method is to set up duplication of notifications through messengers that support multi-device.

• 💬 Telegram (via Notifications on all devices");
• 📱 WhatsApp (if linked to the same number on both devices);
• 🔄 Viber (Sync through account).

Example of settings for Telegram:

1. Open Telegram on your iPhone and go to Settings → Notifications;
2. Enable the option "Show notifications on all devices";
3. On Xiaomi, log in to the same Telegram account and allow notifications in the app settings;
4. In MIUI settings, go to Applications → Notification Management → Telegram and turn on the display on the lock screen.

⚠️ Note: This method only works for notifications from the messenger itself. System alerts (for example, low battery charge on the iPhone or reminders from the Calendar) will not be transmitted in this way.

Method 2: Applications for notification synchronization (Pushbullet, Join)

To fully transfer all notifications from the iPhone to Xiaomi will require third-party services.

Consider setting up via Pushbullet (the most popular option):

1. Install Pushbullet on iPhone (from the App Store) and Xiaomi (from Google Play);
2. Sign up for the service and log in on both devices.
3. On iPhone go to Pushbullet Settings → Mirroring and turn on "Mirror notifications";
4. On Xiaomi, in Pushbullet settings, allow notifications to be displayed and enable the “Show on lock screen” option in the system settings;
5. In MIUI, go to Settings → Notifications → Pushbullet and prioritize High.

Important: In iOS 13, Pushbullet’s mirroring feature is unstable due to Apple’s limitations.If notifications don’t come, try restarting the app on your iPhone or upgrading to the latest version.

Method 3: Set up through a Google account (for selected apps)

Some apps (e.g. Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Keep) allow you to synchronize notifications through a Google account. This is not a universal solution, but it will help for key services.

Instructions:

1. On iPhone, add your Google account to Settings → Passwords and accounts → Add an account → Google;
2. Enable synchronization for the desired services (for example, Gmail, Calendar);
3. On Xiaomi, log in to the same Google account and allow notifications for the relevant apps.
4. In MIUI settings, go to Google → Notifications and set up the display on the lock screen.

⚠️ Note: This method won’t transmit notifications from iMessage, FaceTime, or third-party messengers.It only works for Google services installed on both devices.

Method 4: Automation via IFTTT (for advanced users)

IFTTT (If This Then That) allows you to create automation chains between devices, for example, you can set the rule: “If the iPhone received a notification → send it to Xiaomi via SMS or email.”

Step-by-step:

1. Download IFTTT to both devices.
2. Create a new applet (My Applets → New Applet)
3. Select “iOS Notifications” as the trigger.
4. Select "Send notification to Android device" as the action (That).
5. Connect both devices to your IFTTT account and save the applet.

Cons of this method:

• ⏳ Delay up to 15 minutes (in the free version);
• 📵 Not all notifications are supported (for example, iOS system alerts are not transmitted);
• 🔌 Requires a permanent internet connection on both devices.

💡

If you use IFTTT, create a separate applet for critical notifications (such as calls) with the priority "Instant" to reduce the delay to 1-2 minutes.

Problem Solving: Why Are Not Notifications Coming?

If you’ve set up sync but notify your iPhone on Xiaomi, check:

If the problem persists, try:

• 🔄 Reinstall the synchronization application on both devices;
• 📱 Update MIUI Up to the latest version (old firmware may have notification bugs);
• 🔌 Check your internet connection (especially if you use it) IFTTT or Pushbullet).

💡

The most stable way is to use Pushbullet or Join, but even these don’t guarantee 100% notifications transmission due to the limitations of iOS 13, SMS) It is better to use duplication through SIM-map.

Alternative methods: duplication through SIM-map

If you only need to send SMS and calls, you can use:

• 📶 Two. SIM-Cards: Insert the same card SIM Both devices (if dual-use is supported) SIM Xiaomi);
• 🔵 Bluetooth transmission: Some applications (e.g, SMS Forwarder) can send SMS Bluetooth;
• 📞 Call forwarding: Set up a redirect from your iPhone to your Xiaomi number (in Settings) → Phone. → Redirection).

These methods won’t work for duplication of all notifications, but they are reliable for basic functions, for example, if it’s important to keep an iPhone call from being missed when it’s not sounding, and Xiaomi is always at hand, then forwarding calls will fix the problem.
