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
My phone doesnt even let me access the security app… Any help?
Thank you
I was about to trash it
Great! **Thank you!** This works! I was ready to delete all and install new software!
PHEW FINALLY. it worked out. Tysm
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!
It’s on the same menu where you clear data
It’s working dude, thanks!
Thanks man, good shit. And what a horrible oversight by Xiaomi
Finally it works for me too i didn’t clear data or cache i just uninstall update 😢😭 i wish it never pop up again 😤
Ty my guy
Hey thanks ! Worked for me too. Strange though that it happened to so many people at once
How did it begin first of all? Did you get update for it?
And now I connected to wifi at a hotel and literally got the problem again at the same time
thank you… fixed
I think they fixed it. I didn’t do anything and I don’t have the problem any more.
👍👍 also go to settings then system app updater ignore security update
Thank you so much! This was driving me crazy. Now fixed 👍
But if i clear all data will photos, videos and other stuffs get deleted?
Thanks mate!
My gf is having this issue on Redmi 9
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 ?
That work, thank you so much, man)
I literally just did this, and it works, thanks. You have been a Life Saver
Works for me, thanks alot \^\^
oh man, you literally saved my phone and my day!
Thanks a lot!!!
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.
How do you do that?
I reinstalled the same update and no problems yet.
Thank you, I was having the same problem and this worked. Mi Note 10
brooo if this works, thanks alot
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.
same here just now!
Thanks. 4 hrs hitting cancel every 2-3 sec to use my phone. Clear data works.
Didnt know that other people were getting it. Guess we just need to wait for a fix then. Thanks for the reply
Thanks, clearing data worked!
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.
Can someone please tell me if we uninstall security app will it remove some data from my mobile? Like photos pdf videos?
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
Xiaomi doesnt give fast updates..they just keep on adding features rather than solving existing bugs
Worked by clearing data. Thanks
Is this a recent issue? My hubby’s phone started doing this awhile ago.
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.
thank you
Anyone facing the same issue:
Press and hold security app and uninstall updates
I have the same issue
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?
Thank you
It really works, thanks thanks and thanks
OMG thank you.
Hold the Security icon, click App Info, Uninstall Updates.
Same for me on my Redmi Note 8 Pro, it just came up.
Thankyou so much for posting this and showing us all the way…
Fucking infuriating indeed….
So far it’s going well for me just clearing the data
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/
Thanksssssss
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.
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
I had this happen first thing this morning. After many dismissed dialogs, clearing data fixed it for me too.
Thanks man, huge help.
Happy to assist you
Thanks a lot. Its working normally now.
It worked for me.
>going well for me just clearing the data
The curse of leaving it alone. Unsecured and security app gets bonkers
Thanks it works in Redmi note 8 pro
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.
Thank you so much
Same, just started for me also. I saw a couple of people on Twitter also. must be quite a widespread issue
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 …
***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?…..????***
works just fine tnx m8
Thank you so much! I was going insane, lol.
Abraço de Portugal, tmj 😉
Mi9T, same issue. after uninstall security app update, all working fine .
Same on redmi note 7 your post saved time
Clear data not worked for me, security app keep stoping, How can i delete update from this app ?
It knows you’re looking for it.
Thank you, worked like a charm. I think so many users got the same issue at the same time.
How do you uninstall the update?
Uninstall security app update
Then go to settings then system app updater ignore security update
Does this work for Mi Note 10s, this started happening to me about 10 minutes ago?
Thanks so much, ya saved me too!
Thanks to you, you are a lifesaver I clear all data, and now everything back to normal
Always shows alert message
Thanks 👍
You will get soon
Thank you so much….. This issue was a headache!
thx mate is just happen to me and i was screaming thank you really mich for risolve the problem <3
redmi note 9 user here, it works for me
F on note 8 pro
Thanks so much! Xiaomi is silent as well as local distributors of the phones.
yeah im on redmi9
yeah it works
Same happens to me about ten minutes ago
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!
Fellow Mi9t user and this also worked for me.
Clearing data works on redmi 6a. Thanks
Had the same problem, Mi 8
same here so annoying
Go to apps, manage apps, security, clear data, clear all data or uninstall updates. Either should work.
Same this just started minutes ago. Mi Mix 2S.
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.
maybe they will release a system udpate
Thx Sir!
You can’t uninstall because it’s a preinstalled system app clearing all cache data helped me otherwise uninstall all updates from it
Worked for me. Thank you good man. (Mi9)
Same happened to me using xiaomi mi 9 lite. Clear data fixed it for me. It started after latest security update.
I uninstalled security update and it stopped for 5 minutes
Life fucking saver
Excellent, thanks!
mine started popping after immediately connecting to the Wi-Fi
AAA IT COMES UP EVERY 5 SECONDSSS
Saved my day. Thanks a lot!
Go to security app info then uninstall updates
Thanks, was going crazy with this message popping up. You’re todays hero 💯
me too, does anyone know why it happened?
exact same thing happened to me like 30 mins ago
I googled “security keeps stopping” and found your post. There is one another simularity. I was also playing on Pokerstars.. probably not a coincidence.
Thank you, fixed another here.
Thank you so much methode is working special remove the updates
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.
Mi9TPro User
This works for me. Thanks!
same
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
Well, you only know if you try… I believe it will work 🙂
yeah, same error here in pakistan on note 8 pro. seems like some issues in security update.
HOW DO U UNINSTALL
Thanks, sorted!
Worked on poco f1.. Thanks mate
Redmi Note 8 Pro user here, this is working for me too, so far (fingers crossed). Thanks.
thaanks a lot mate
Thanks!
Thank you very much. I was about to buy a new phone. Your instructions worked perfectly. Thank you !!
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! You are a God send! That was the most frustrating issue I’ve had with technology for years!
Thanks worked for me!
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.
Sameee
No, if you do these steps you are fine 🙂
Thank you so much my dude!
Go to settings -> apps -> manage apps -> security -> you will find the option to uninstall the update all the way down
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.
Literally started happening to my phone at the exact same time
