Xiaomi promises to knock it off with at least some of the obnoxious MIUI ads (Update: More info)
Aug 16, 2025
The MIUI Experience Product Director also promised to make MIUI lighter for users, though the commitment is for the Chinese version.
Thankfully, Xiaomi just committed to at the very least cutting back on some of the more obnoxious system ads on its devices. In a series of posts on Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo (viaXDA Developers), Xiaomi Product director Mr. Wang Teng Thomas — claiming to speak for Xiaomi CEO Mr. Lei Jun — committed to removing the ads that most negatively affect the user experience in MIUI.
Which ads those might be, we don’t know. However, the removal of any system-wide ads will likely be greeted warmly by Xiaomi smartphone owners.
In related news, the company also committed to bringing new features to MIUI. It is asking users to vote on the three features of a set of six that they think should be prioritized over the others. The six proposed features are:
It should be noted that these features are coming to the Chinese variant of MIUI. It’s likely they will also come to the global version, but the voting and feature commitment is just for the Chinese ROM for now.
It also is unclear whether these features are coming toMIUI 10(the latest version) orMIUI 11, which is still in development. It’s likely to be the latter but it’s certainly possible it could be the former.
