What is Bloatware? Why Should You Remove It?

When you buy a Xiaomi phone, especially a global version (sold outside China), it comes with a lot of pre-installed apps — some from Xiaomi and some from partners (like Facebook, TikTok, or Booking.com).

These apps:

• Take up storage
• Run in the background (using battery & data)
• Sometimes show ads or send notifications you don’t need

• Debloating = Removing or disabling these unnecessary apps to make your phone faster, cleaner, and more private.

Important: No Root Needed

This guide works without root, so your phone stays safe and you keep your warranty. We’ll use a simple Windows program to clean up the phone.

---

Step 1: Prepare Your Computer & Phone

What You Need:

• A Windows PC or laptop
• Your Xiaomi phone
• A good USB-C cable

---

Step 2: Enable Developer Options & USB Debugging

1. On your phone, open Settings.
2. Go to About Phone.
3. Tap on HyperOS/MIUI Version 7 times until you see “You are now a developer”.
4. Go back to Settings > Additional settings > Developer options.
5. Find and turn on USB debugging.

---

Step 3: Download Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools

This is the easiest and safest debloat tool for beginners.

• Download: https://secyukle.com/dosya/uploads/XiaomiADBFastbootTools-6_0.jar

It’s a .jar file so you will need to download and install Java.

---

Step 4: Connect Your Phone to Your PC

• Plug your phone into your PC with the USB cable.
• When your phone asks “Allow USB Debugging?” tap Allow.

---

Step 5: Open Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools

• Launch the program on your PC.
• It will automatically detect your phone.
• If your phone is connected properly, you will see a list of apps installed on your phone.

Step 6: Safe Debloating — What to Remove?

It’s safe to remove:

Category	Examples
Social Media Preinstalls	Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.
Advertising Services	MSA (MIUI System Ads), Analytics
Mi Browser & Mi Video	You can use Chrome/YouTube instead
Partner Apps	Google One, Booking.com, Agoda, etc.

⚠️ Do NOT remove core apps like:

• System UI or MIUI Home (this controls your launcher and status bar)
• Security (needed for updates)
• Camera (obviously)
• Phone and Messages

---

Step 7: One-Click Uninstall

• Tick the box for each app you want to remove.
• Click Uninstall.
• Done! The app is gone.

---

Step 8 (Optional): Disable System Ads

Even after debloating, Xiaomi phones show ads in some system apps. You can turn off ads manually in these places:

1. Settings > Passwords & security > Authorization & revocation
   • Revoke MSA (this is the ad service).
2. Mi Security App > Settings > Recommendations – Turn it off.
3. Mi File Manager > Settings > About > Recommendations – Turn off.

---

Bonus Tip: Install a New Launcher

If you want to completely avoid Xiaomi’s launcher ads, install a cleaner one like:

• Nova Launcher (clean and customizable)

---
