Good news would be if Xiaomi had an opt out switch for miui
Ah yes, pay YouTube. As if they don’t get enough money from ads and selling data.
good news everyone… (in the voice of the professor)
but i turned off all adds on my note 7 already, sure it took to navigate a bit in the settings of each app but i havent seen an ad since. there was a guide online of what to do exactly.
Much needed
Adguard DNS maybe the thing you’re looking for.
bruah
I honestly would if I could. But premium isn’t in my region. I don’t ad block YouTube but the recent increase in annoying ads have been pushing me to reconsider.
I was flashing miui onto my phones before they made handsets 🙂 I love themes.
I get ads every time I switch the HDMI input on my xiaomi smart TV in China.
hope it will be available soon for all xiaomi phone

what ads? only ads i see is when i browse the web or watch videos online
Curious thing. YouTube doesn’t disclose its financial statements, statements of profit & loss.

Lol i wonder why 😀
Last i knew is from 2016, where they still didnt make money
And after adpocalypse(s), all the nazi content, pewdiepie to some degree, logan paul suicide forest etc. And all the mainstream media bashing youtube
Interesting stuff. But apparently it should be around 20 billion? Which i still dont get how after all the debacles and losing money 2016
Haven’t seen any on my Mi9. Partly because I’m in Europe, mainly because I don’t use single built-in app, as I don’t want to use that spyware crap.
It’s called using the custom DNS setting in Android.
Or a miui ads service toggle that is in the background for a long time now.
why can’t you get rid of it right away? doesnt Xiaomi support flashing ROMs?
You can also just search for the setting within the settings app, it reveals all the stuff Miui tries to hide from you, but you have to specifically know what you’re searching for.
Youtube Vanced.
when are phones going to add a dedicated skip ad button already
Luckily you can pay for ad free YouTube
Those are the apps I’m referring to. The dialer/contacts app has and ads setting. The Mi weather app has its own ads setting. The compass app has its own ads setting. I have a Mi 9. I know how many apps I had to turn that setting off for 😁
It says MIUI adds, not application apps. So they are testing to shut down their own adds.

Don’t care. Those shit apps got to go.
In China stable yes. There are more ads, some of which are not as easy to turn off. However, xiaomi is one if to the few Chinese handset makers that offer bl unlock.
The funny thing is i think they dont 😀
Excellent 🙂
no need to worry or really care for those of us who use the eea roms – they’re already ad-free from the start!!!
I’m curious too. I have a mi9t pro and I have never seen an ad either… I’m in Greece.
I’m from Mexico, I’m using a Mi 9T with the lastest software and I’ve never seen an ad.
Ill add to here: miui hides this setting BUT you can still access it with nova launcher for example (dont need to use the launcher)
You can add a nova Launcher widget on the home screen called “activities” which can connect to a setting by just pressing that icon (here DNS settings)
You have to Connect it to something like this:
com.android.settings.Settings$NetworkDashboardActivity
Where are the ads in miui? I only see a couple on the Poco launcher but that’s it
The activity is com.android.settings.Settings$NetworkDashboardActivity the activity is called “More” when you access it through nova activity widget the icon is a greyed out wifi icon. If you cant be bothered with that method you can install “miui hidden settings” i dont get ads served up in miui apps and never have. My private dns is set to automatic with the dns server name blank thats how my phone came, mi mix 2s global rom 10.35.0
testing? is it that hard to shut them down?
Finally! I can opt-out to ads I don’t even see yet.
Yup. Pretty much every app has it’s own individual setting for “recommended” stuff. So you have to change it in every app rather than a single setting that applies to all apps.
youtube vanced
Really? 3 years ago they still didnt make money and then there is the adpocalypse and this year they lost billions because they have to fight against conspiracy videos ( which brought them a hell of an income)
Couldnt find the youtube income googling, peehaps someone can send me data
Bru
Its weird, im in eu, never had any ads
Honestly I don’t have a Xiaomi so I don’t know if it’s a real problem or not ahah 😛
I couldn’t find it through that method. Need to use nova widget or miui hidden settings app
It’s called xiaomi.eu or custom ROMs
depends on your region
Not in europe
doesn’t work for youtube
This.
You avoid third party services running all the time, you let the sistem filter for you.
I must be the only one which never sees the ads…
