How to Turn Off MIUI Ads from Xiaomi Smartphones
As I mentioned earlier, there’s not a single way to do this. You can follow these three main methods to turn off MIUI ads.
#1Disable MSA
Well, I have seen this method working in only a few Xiaomi smartphones but you can try it on your own device. MSA stands for MIUI System Ads which is the main source of all ads. Once it’s disabled or uninstalled somehow, all ads will be turned off automatically from the MIUI.
Follow the given instructions:
- Open Phone’s Settings
- Tap Additional settings > Authorisation & revocation
- Toggle MSA to turn off(requires internet connection to turn it off)
- Then tap revoke
It’s so fortunate if it is disabled since there is very little chance to make this happen though, you can repeat the process several times to disable it. If it doesn’t work. Go for the next method.
#2Through App’s settings
If the first method did not work for some reason, We have still a chance to disable all the ads. We’ll go through each MIUI apps’ settings and turn off the ads from there. It may take a little more time but it works.
