How to Disable Ads, Bloatware, and Push Notifications in MIUI 11 – Guide

Xiaomi is rightly one of the biggest smartphone players in India. It offers quality hardware at bargain prices, making it hard to ignore. However, if there’s a long-standing problem we’ve had with your phones, is that the software can be very annoying to use due to the pre-installed bloatware and ads in the native apps. It’s an issue we’re sure many of you have had or still have to this day and it remains an issue in the company’s current MIUI 11 Android ROM as well. If you are still using MIUI 9, don’t worry as you can follow these steps. Today we are going to take a quick tour how to disable ads in MIUI 11. ..

However, both phones work in essentially the same way and follow the same steps to install or update MIUI. If you have an older Xiaomi phone like a Mi 4 or Mi 5, there is no need to upgrade to MIUI 11 as those phones will still work with earlier versions of the software. ..
