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
me too, does anyone know why it happened?
AAA IT COMES UP EVERY 5 SECONDSSS
Can someone please tell me if we uninstall security app will it remove some data from my mobile? Like photos pdf videos?
Go to apps, manage apps, security, clear data, clear all data or uninstall updates. Either should work.
OMG thank you.
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 so much methode is working special remove the updates
Clear data not worked for me, security app keep stoping, How can i delete update from this app ?
Thank you so much….. This issue was a headache!
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 ?
I think they fixed it. I didn’t do anything and I don’t have the problem any more.
Well, you only know if you try… I believe it will work 🙂

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