Recently I started to see an app called GetApps on some Xiaomi devices. It’s really annoying, It installs many unuseful apps and changes custom configuration without any ask to the user. How can be blocked this app?

Lo amo
I turned some options and seems that worked.
Go to Settings -> App List
Find GetApps and:
uninstall updates
clear cache and user data
in mobile data and wifi: turn off background data usage
in screen time set a daily timer for app usage (0h, 0m, i think it will suffice for block the app)
in battery turn off background activity
in change system configurations turn it off
Now reboot to see if it worked
Oi eu não achei no redimi a3x, onde eu encontro?
Merci 👍
Be very careful with that app. I just discovered that this app contains adware (a virus that spams you with ads outside of the apps). I checked it because the same thing happened to my grandmother’s cell phone.
Para las aplicaciones del sistema, si. Se actualizan por ahí.
Duh. Since your system updates are on Xiaomi’s app store.
Two years later: Hallefuckinglujah! Thank you!
It’s not working
I found a way to remove this and basically any app, but the process is a bit long.
1. Search and install **Brevent** and **Package Names** from the Play Store.
2. Enable **Developer Options** and turn on **Wi-Fi debugging**.
3. Set up Brevent and make sure it’s connected via Wi-Fi debugging.
4. Follow this video tutorial: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvZEljcN\_vM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvZEljcN_vM) “Thanks [Embarrassed-Ad-7431](https://www.reddit.com/user/Embarrassed-Ad-7431/) For this”.
5. Use the **Package Names** app to find the package name of the app you want to remove (e.g., *GetApps* is `com.xiaomi.mipicks`).
6. Prepare this command (to run it from Brevent’s console) uninstall –user 0 com.xiaomi.mipicks
7. Done! The app will be disabled. You can do the same with other apps like Mi Video or even some Google apps — just **be careful**.
8. After that, you can disable developer options (if you want), or even uninstall Brevent.

Bonjour yoyi1988,
Est-ce que ces instructions sont également valables pour révoquer/supprimer l’appli “Mi App Wall” qui malheureusement et désespérément continue à s’afficher sur mon smart ?
Bàv,

So, did you install the get apps again? I was thinking of getting rid of it but if it hinders my phone from working should I do it?
Turn off msa & system apps updater.

GetApps is not in there, but it’s still downloading apps that I don’t want and I don’t know how to stop it.

Change de région met états unis, ça vas disparaître tout seul
Change region to “US” inside settings and it disappeared now. Thank you so much!
Für alle die sich Wunder:
Es wurde zu “Autorisierung & Widerruf” umgenannt, funktioniert aber immer noch…
For anyone wondering:
It has been renamed to “Authorization & Revocation” but still works…
A mi solo de repente me aparecío la app Mi picks pero contiene puros juegos y ocupa demasiado espacio y he intentado desinstalarla y no me da la opción, pero también tengo la app App Gallery y esa es casi igual que play store, pero casi no las uso.
Alguien me podría decir cómo quitar la app Mi picks, es molesta porque instala un buen de cosas inservibles o que me traban mi celular a cada rato.
Ya intenté las dos opciones que comentan aquí arriba y no puedo.
AuthoriSation
Spent 5 minutes trying to figure out why I can’t find it
Confirmo que funciona
Hello! I’m on the latest HyperOS for Mi 14U but can’t find this setting. any updates?
What a legend!!!
sadly it didn’t work
Gracias! Funciona totalmente!
Me salvaste la vida. Eres el mejor
Hi! I did this and uninstalled updates, and deleted from the home screen but the app keeps appearing on the home screen everyday 😭😭😭. Any suggestion?
merci chef cet appli me clc
I subscribe to weekly mobile legend gems.
In PlayStore I can unsubscribe.
But mobile legend use getapps instead of play store.
How do I unsubscribe?
Try craigisawake solution above
If you got your phone in/from China, I believe it’s not there.
same here
found a solution yet?
I cant find “authorization & revocation” in my redmi note 8
it seems to be missing…. any help?
update them manually from apkmirror, getapps is useless
should probably reset the phone
i cant find the ” authorization & revocation ” on my xiaomi
any reason why?
I still get system updates. I just ignore the update for GetApps.
What I meant was DO NOT update GetApps. Updating it will activate it again.
What’s US? Your location setting?
Justo acabo de hacer esto muchas gracias crack
Thanks! Helped 👍
You a real one. Thanks.
changez la région en paramètres des États-Unis = paramètres supplémentaires = région = États-Unis

la app desaparece.
For me there’s no authorizations&revocation
For me this guys here helped me to solve my problem for under 5 min. Only here, “**–k ––user**” ,the ADB program will read those dashes as numbers, you just need to replace those numbers with dashes. \*\* Replace the 3rd slash in the link with dot [https://gadgetstouse/com/blog/2021/04/28/disable-get-apps-on-xiaomi-redmi-poco-phone-miui/](https://gadgetstouse/com/blog/2021/04/28/disable-get-apps-on-xiaomi-redmi-poco-phone-miui/)
This is an underrated solution – I switched to US and getapps went away
I was visiting an adult video site, and a new window opened up with Browser being the name of the application. When I clicked on info, It changed to Speed Calls, uninstalled it there and then. After that, it download some Lending app automatically, I did check the download source this time and it said Getapps, after which I uninstalled the Lending app as well. Should I be worried still?
Why do I need it?
Yeah me too it keeps updating random games without my permission

>t revoke authorization”.
After latest MIUI 14 update the Mi Picks (getApps) appeared in my Mi 12 pro.
I did the following procecdure
1. revoked authorization as u/yoti1988 suggested
2. in App info I did the following
a) Notifications: No
b) Restrict data: Turn off data (disabled all choices)
c) Battery saver: Restrict background activity
d) Cleared cache & data and force closed the App
Now the app is totally useless. If you want to virtually uninstall the app then you need to access the device through ADB and send the following command \`pm uninstall –k —user com.xiaomi.mipicks\` (or whatever name the package has), ~~although this change may result (not sure) in system not be able to update Xiaomi’s system apps~~. Tested and everything works ok.
If you don’t want to mess with adb, here is a nice tool to make the job by using only your mouse [https://adbappcontrol.com/](https://adbappcontrol.com/). Need to enable developer mode and ADB of course
Even when I turned off the app it still won’t stop working
Here to add this method works a treat!
You can also change your region to somewhere random where GetApps hasn’t released yet
In my F4, it installed overnight. Xiaomi’s software is just horrible. i mean, a hacker could use it to install a malicious app.
thats why im planning to r00t my device
They also collect tons of data
💋
Cheers mate. It came back for me too. Took about 3-4 days. Hope this works!
Don’t use the system apps updater. It will try to push you to use GetApps.
I already revoked getapps, but it still appears whenever my phone trying to update an app. Any other solution?
I just tried a second time and it worked.
I tried a second time and it worked after not allowing the first attempt.
This app appeared on my phone even though I have auto-update turned off and update notification turned on. The solution given here didn’t work. This worked for me:
1. **use “Hidden Settings For MIUI” app**
2. Manage applications
3. select “GetApps”
4. “.. More” at the bottom of the page and “Uninstall updates”
However, it came back! It seems that they have modified the System apps updater to update this app and itself regardless of settings. So, I needed to do the same steps as above. i.e.
1. **use “Hidden Settings For MIUI” app**
2. Manage applications
3. select “System apps updater”
4. “.. More” at the bottom of the page and “Uninstall updates”
I just removed authorisation following the instructions above. And it’s come back with the same icon, but now called “MiPicks”, and I can’t revoke authorisation on it. WTAF Xiaomi. Think it time for a custom rom if adb remover doesnt work.
I get “Couldn’t revoke authorization”.
This app appeared on my phone today, even though I have auto-update turned off and update notification turned on.
The GetApp sucked, it made my phone freeze completely so I thought to buy a new phone instead.First today I managed to revoke authorization. But how to delete and remove the entire shit ?
GetApps came pre-installed with my F5.
I did it but I don’t get how getapps automatically got installed in my phone overnight when I was asleep. Do you have any ideas ?
“Доступ к личным данным”, for those who set russian language on their phones for some reason
Enter on the search bar “authorization” and one of the search results is the purple icon “authorization and revocation”. It isn’t visible normally on the settings list. (I just did it for the same reasons)
How?
Ive literally gone through the entire page as its a long one and im not finding that area where it would allow me the choice to turn off
I think it needs an internet connection for it to work
Reenabling mobile data connection helped. Thanks me!
It said “Couldn’t revoke authorization” for me. Is there something im doing wrong? I disabled mobile data connection for my security
Adb?
You’re the best
mvp
Hello contact to Xiaomi and say the problem!The mail is [email protected] !Goo day !
1. Go to settings
2. Tap search
3. Enter “authorization & revocation”
4. Turn off GetApps
