A few months ago, the possibility of Xiaomi adding a new option in HyperOS capable of blocking and disabling all ads was leaked. This leak was due to its inclusion in one of the latest betas, Although Xiaomi finally seems to have backed down on this measure.
According to Android Authority, Xiaomi has made public its intention not to add an “easy” way to block and disable ads on its phones, especially since it represents a considerable amount of their incomeIn addition, the company has made it clear that we will still have to wait several years until we can disable ads in its various layers of personalization.
Xiaomi won’t make it easy for us, but thanks to this trick, disabling advertising is just a matter of seconds
In the interview conducted by Android Authority with one of Xiaomi’s software managers, the latter stated that The company’s short-term goal is to reduce the number of bloatwarethat is, the number of pre-installed applications in HyperOS. Disabling ads It will be something we will see one day but over a much longer period.
Still, today there is a fairly simple trick that allows us disable advertising or rather, block the processes responsible for generating these recommendations and advertisements that appear throughout the HyperOS user interface and in some of its applications (it happens less in the European ROM, focusing on the Global ROM). For Disable advertising on your Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO we simply have to follow these steps:
- Go to Settings > Fingerprints, face & screen lock > Revoke authorization
- Once inside it will be based on disabling the processes MSA and GetApps (a confirmation message will be shown in which we will have to click on Revoke). These are responsible for displaying advertisements, as well as application and game recommendations.
So well, if Xiaomi doesn’t make it easier for us to disable advertising on its smartphones, We can always resort to deactivating the processes in charge of them.It won’t be as easy as just disabling an option in the settings, but it’s a matter of just a few more seconds.
