Xiaomi is a huge company. Not only for having endless mobiles, but also for having other devices such as robot vacuum cleaners, kettles or televisions. The catalog is immense, and does not stop growing.
To be able to manage all these products from our mobile, we have the Mi account. In the same way that with a Google account we can access all its services such as Gmail, Drive or Photos, with the Mi account we will have access to the Xiaomi Cloud with 5GB free as well as other apps of the brand itself.
How to create the account from a Xiaomi mobile?
The only thing we will need is a Xiaomi mobile, any one will do. Make sure MIUI is up to date from Settings > About phone and then to Settings and scroll down to My Account.
Once inside, you will see several options:
-
Create a new Mi account with your phone number
-
Sign in with an existing Mi account
-
Create account using email
Bottom line, you have two more options to create your account Mi: doing it through Facebook or Google. If you don’t want complications, those are the best. Remember to accept the terms under the ‘phone number’ field in order to create your account.
Completing registration
If you have opted for the initial methods, you will have to create a password, and you will go to a confirmation screen where you will have to prove that you are not a robot. In our case, we had to check the boxes where bicycles appeared, but any other object can come out.
In addition, these types of confirmations are usually very inaccurate, so you may have to do it several times with different objects before moving on to the next step.
Once you have completed that arduous task, you will have to check your email, since you will have received an email from Xiaomi with a link to confirm your account. Hit the orange ‘Activate my account’ box and your default web browser will open.
!! Congratulations!! You have already created your Mi account. Now, you can go back to the Settings screen and review everything Xiaomi has for you from there.
What can be done with the Mi account?
From your new account, you will be able to manage your personal information, security, devices associated with it and access to Xiaomi Cloudone of the most useful features of having a Mi account.
Thanks to the Xiaomi cloud, you can have all your photos and data from your mobile synchronized in the cloud, so they don’t have to take up space on your device. In addition, it has a feature that allows you to find your phone if you’ve lost it, and delete data remotely if you think it has been stolen.
Definitely, having a Mi account brings many advantages for users of a Xiaomi mobile, and it is one of the first things that we recommend you do if you have just bought one.
