How to get rid of unwanted advertisements and spam notifications in your Xiaomi smartphone
Earlier we told you how to turn off unwanted ads in MIUI 10 through a step-by-step guide. At the same time, now we are going to tell you how to disable unwanted advertisements on MIUI 11.
Many people do not know on which version their phone is working, so to know your smartphone version, open the settings of your Xiaomi phone and go to ‘About phone’. Here you will get all the information related to your phone, the information about MIUI will be given like this, ‘MIUI Global 11.0.4’. If the version of your phone is MIUI 11, then you can turn off unwanted advertisements in your phone in this way.
Block unwanted advertising through MSA process
The biggest reason for seeing ads in stock apps is the MSA or MIUI system advertising process, which keeps running in the background. In the previous version of MIUI, you needed to switch off several times to turn off ads, but we found the MIUI 11 method quite simple, how? Let us know-
1. First of all go to the Settings app.
2. Complete the Authorization & revocation process by entering the password.
3. Here you will see ‘msa’ list with green Android logo, which you have to turn off.
4. After this you have to do the same with the last option in the list, GetApps.
5. After this you will get a 10 second warning message, in which you will be asked to ensure this step.
6. After the countdown ends, press ‘Revoke’. If it doesn’t turn off at once, you can do it several times. (Although there will be no need to do this.)
7. Even if you reboot your phone after this, MSA will remain disabled.
Other changes to stop advertising-
The method mentioned above is enough, but we also have some other methods to stop ads. By using these methods you can completely get rid of unwanted advertisements. For this follow these steps-
