I just left my cell phone charging for a bit and when i came back I literally can’t use it because Security keeps stopping is popping up every 2 seconds. I didnt download anything from shaddy sites and nothing outside the google play store, the only thing was pokerstars but i already unninstalled it and didnt change anything. If anyone has this problem or knows a fix i would really apreciate it
Thank you, fixed another here.
Worked for me. Thank you good man. (Mi9)
Hello, would deleting the security app data delete any actual photos or documents? Do i need to do a back up or sth? Thank you.
I don’t know who you are, I don’t know where you live, but there is someone that loves you in Brazil. You saved my life with this answer. God bless you.
You will get soon
Thanks, clearing data worked!
I think they fixed it. I didn’t do anything and I don’t have the problem any more.
Excellent, thanks!
Man i’m sorry but you don’t even know where you talking about.
It’s Android 10 MIUI 12.0.1.0 .
I can’t find anything about remove,uninstall or downgrade update on the same menu where i clear data Or in Security “App Info”.
I can upload image.
Thanksssssss
Thanks. 4 hrs hitting cancel every 2-3 sec to use my phone. Clear data works.
Thank you so much….. This issue was a headache!
I got a date afternoon but before morning this error showed up like the end of my life. I’d to take some photos for her, but i had no idea why this error occurred. I tried with uninstalling updates of security app, restarting, charging and it didn’t work. Finally i found this post and cleared app data. Then my phone got back to normal and i was like my fucking best day of my life. I really thank y’all guys for saving my life.
P.S – I got laid that day.
Thank you so much
I uninstalled security update and it stopped for 5 minutes
Thank you! You are a God send! That was the most frustrating issue I’ve had with technology for years!
***The fix worked for me on Note 8 Pro in the UK, but is it a bit weird that this has happened to loads of Xiaomi phones over the last 4 hours?…..????***
Xiaomi doesnt give fast updates..they just keep on adding features rather than solving existing bugs
No, if you do these steps you are fine 🙂
This was SO HARD because the pop up kept on appearing on me trying to find the right option in settings and I had to press cancel every 3 sec. But thank you so much.
OMG thank you.
Thanks worked for me!
It’s on the same menu where you clear data
Thanks so much, ya saved me too!
No it will not delete any of your personal items, you only reset the data and casch to default in the security app. so if you done any settings in the app before, you need to set the same settings back to what you prefer.
same here so annoying
I just solved problem with updating Security and Cleaner apps.
I don’t receive any update in my setting, i just found website which give these updates so just download them and fix problem.
Security App updates : https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaomi-inc/miui-security/
Cleaner App updates : https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaomi-inc/miui-cleaner/
brooo if this works, thanks alot
Does this work for Mi Note 10s, this started happening to me about 10 minutes ago?
Thank you so much my dude!
maybe they will release a system udpate
exact same thing happened to me like 30 mins ago
Can someone please tell me if we uninstall security app will it remove some data from my mobile? Like photos pdf videos?
Thanks, was going crazy with this message popping up. You’re todays hero 💯
If anybody sees this, pls ignore it. You don’t need to do that, it will probably put your phone in danger. I see that this account was just created to put this comment.
Thanks 👍
Ty my guy
same
Thx Sir!
Clear data not worked for me, security app keep stoping, How can i delete update from this app ?
Same, just started for me also. I saw a couple of people on Twitter also. must be quite a widespread issue
Thanks mate!
I have a similar problem but it’s not with Security keeps stopping
It’s with “Notifications stopped working”
I have posted it [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/k0tyew/notifications_keeps_stopping_error_notification/), does anyone have any idea on how to fix that?
doing the mentioned fix with the security app does not work for me, I force installed the latest security update August 2020 as well to see if it fixes the issue but it does not
thaanks a lot mate
Life fucking saver

Mi9TPro User
This works for me. Thanks!
oh man, you literally saved my phone and my day!
Thanks a lot!!!
Well, you only know if you try… I believe it will work 🙂
Had the same problem, Mi 8
yeah, same error here in pakistan on note 8 pro. seems like some issues in security update.
same here just now!
It’s working dude, thanks!
>going well for me just clearing the data
Go to apps, manage apps, security, clear data, clear all data or uninstall updates. Either should work.
Thanks man, huge help.
thx mate is just happen to me and i was screaming thank you really mich for risolve the problem <3
👍👍 also go to settings then system app updater ignore security update
Works for me, thanks alot \^\^
Uninstall security app update
Then go to settings then system app updater ignore security update
How did it begin first of all? Did you get update for it?
I even uninstalled the update, and whenever I leave my phone for a while I find the same problem like the update keeps getting auto-installed …
Same this just started minutes ago. Mi Mix 2S.
Thankyou so much for posting this and showing us all the way…
Fucking infuriating indeed….
Thank you so much! I was going insane, lol.
PHEW FINALLY. it worked out. Tysm
I’m on a xiaomi pocophone and I have the same problem. I started noticing about 20minutes ago. I tried rebooting my phone and I still have the problem.
EDIT: Thanks to everyone giving me directions! I did it (uninstall updates) and it’s fixed now!
Clearing data works on redmi 6a. Thanks
AAA IT COMES UP EVERY 5 SECONDSSS
Same it’s happening to me!
# How I “fixed” it:
1. Go to settings
2. Apps
3. Manage apps
4. Search for *”Security”*
5. Open *”Security”* app
6. Hit “Clear data”
7. “Clear all data”
8. Enjoy
If Xiaomi see this: **I suggest to modify the way they display these notifications/alerts, because if a bug eventually happens (which it seems to be this case) we literally can’t use the phone and this is unacceptable.**
# Edit
If for some users “Clear all data” it’s not enough, do the same process and remove the updates from this app.
Literally started happening to my phone at the exact same time
Redmi Note 8 Pro user here, this is working for me too, so far (fingers crossed). Thanks.
I also experienced it on my Redmi Note 9(Global) last night after connecting to the Wi-Fi. I sort of “fixed” it by clearing the app data of the Security app.
works just fine tnx m8
Thank you very much. I was about to buy a new phone. Your instructions worked perfectly. Thank you !!
Always shows alert message
My phone doesnt even let me access the security app… Any help?
Fellow Mi9t user and this also worked for me.
yeah it works
I have the same issue
Thanks to you, you are a lifesaver I clear all data, and now everything back to normal
Abraço de Portugal, tmj 😉
I have a similar problem but it’s not with Security keeps stopping
It’s with “Notifications stopped working”
I have posted it [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/k0tyew/notifications_keeps_stopping_error_notification/), does anyone have any idea on how to fix that ?
Happy to assist you
Thanks man, good shit. And what a horrible oversight by Xiaomi
I have not uninstalled updates. I have opened the app and cleared the phone (speed up and so on). Pop up message stopped. Looks like security app has trouble to cope with some data from other apps.
Update: I had to uninstall updates. Message appeared again few hours later.
Same happened to me using xiaomi mi 9 lite. Clear data fixed it for me. It started after latest security update.
Worked by clearing data. Thanks
And now I connected to wifi at a hotel and literally got the problem again at the same time
I reinstalled the same update and no problems yet.
That work, thank you so much, man)
You can’t uninstall because it’s a preinstalled system app clearing all cache data helped me otherwise uninstall all updates from it
Finally it works for me too i didn’t clear data or cache i just uninstall update 😢😭 i wish it never pop up again 😤
Excellent advice. Its sorted my Mi9T after an evening of frustration with warning messages every few seconds. I was contemplating more severe action such as factory reset so thankfully that’s not required now.
Go to security app info then uninstall updates
Still have the problem. Literally getting 1 second screen time when I cancel the notification. SecurityApp info has last update source, last update time, but no option to uninstall. Help!
mine started popping after immediately connecting to the Wi-Fi
But if i clear all data will photos, videos and other stuffs get deleted?
Thanks a lot. Its working normally now.
Same for me on my Redmi Note 8 Pro, it just came up.
Thank you so much! This was driving me crazy. Now fixed 👍
thank you
Saved my day. Thanks a lot!
me too, does anyone know why it happened?
Hey thanks ! Worked for me too. Strange though that it happened to so many people at once
Thank you
It really works, thanks thanks and thanks
Worked on poco f1.. Thanks mate
Thank you, worked like a charm. I think so many users got the same issue at the same time.
I had this happen first thing this morning. After many dismissed dialogs, clearing data fixed it for me too.
Thanks, sorted!
Thanks so much! Xiaomi is silent as well as local distributors of the phones.
So far it’s going well for me just clearing the data
It knows you’re looking for it.
My gf is having this issue on Redmi 9
It worked for me.
Thanks it works in Redmi note 8 pro
Didnt know that other people were getting it. Guess we just need to wait for a fix then. Thanks for the reply
Mi9T, same issue. after uninstall security app update, all working fine .
I googled “security keeps stopping” and found your post. There is one another simularity. I was also playing on Pokerstars.. probably not a coincidence.
Is this a recent issue? My hubby’s phone started doing this awhile ago.
Go to settings -> apps -> manage apps -> security -> you will find the option to uninstall the update all the way down
Thanks!
Great! **Thank you!** This works! I was ready to delete all and install new software!
Absolutely nothing.. Was on charge and when I plugged out this appeared. Judging by people’s responses in this thread, appears to be a bug triggered by certain date and time condition, but hey I’m no developer
Sameee
I literally just did this, and it works, thanks. You have been a Life Saver
Mi 9t user here, for me “Clear data” just stopped the pop-up for a few seconds and after that it came right back. Uninstalling the update was the only solution that worked. So if the above does not work – uninstall the update for the Security app
Thank you so much methode is working special remove the updates
HOW DO U UNINSTALL
The curse of leaving it alone. Unsecured and security app gets bonkers
Anyone facing the same issue:
Press and hold security app and uninstall updates
F on note 8 pro
isn’t clear all data going to erase all documents, contacts, notes, pictures etc.? and what happens after you uninstall the update for the security app? if it is a global problem shouldn’d xiaomi soon give us an update to clear the problem?
How do you uninstall the update?
Thank you, I was having the same problem and this worked. Mi Note 10
Same on redmi note 7 your post saved time
redmi note 9 user here, it works for me
Thank you
I was about to trash it
Hold the Security icon, click App Info, Uninstall Updates.
thank you… fixed
How do you do that?
Same happens to me about ten minutes ago
