Same on redmi note 7 your post saved time

Hold the Security icon, click App Info, Uninstall Updates.

Thank you so much! I was going insane, lol.

Xiaomi doesnt give fast updates..they just keep on adding features rather than solving existing bugs

My phone doesnt even let me access the security app… Any help?

PHEW FINALLY. it worked out. Tysm

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.

Worked on poco f1.. Thanks mate

thx mate is just happen to me and i was screaming thank you really mich for risolve the problem <3

It knows you’re looking for it.

Works for me, thanks alot \^\^

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/

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.

So far it’s going well for me just clearing the data

works just fine tnx m8

That work, thank you so much, man)

I have the same issue

Thanks 👍

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.

👍👍 also go to settings then system app updater ignore security update

Clear data not worked for me, security app keep stoping, How can i delete update from this app ?

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

I was about to trash it

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 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.

It’s on the same menu where you clear data

Thanks man, good shit. And what a horrible oversight by Xiaomi

I reinstalled the same update and no problems yet.

Thanks, was going crazy with this message popping up. You’re todays hero 💯

Thanksssssss

Thank you so much….. This issue was a headache!

same

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

***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?…..????***

I googled “security keeps stopping” and found your post. There is one another simularity. I was also playing on Pokerstars.. probably not a coincidence.

Go to apps, manage apps, security, clear data, clear all data or uninstall updates. Either should work.

Go to settings -> apps -> manage apps -> security -> you will find the option to uninstall the update all the way down

Life fucking saver

I uninstalled security update and it stopped for 5 minutes

Mi9T, same issue. after uninstall security app update, all working fine .

Thankyou so much for posting this and showing us all the way…

Fucking infuriating indeed….

Always shows alert message

Sameee

You can’t uninstall because it’s a preinstalled system app clearing all cache data helped me otherwise uninstall all updates from it

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.

Thank you, I was having the same problem and this worked. Mi Note 10

Thanks to you, you are a lifesaver I clear all data, and now everything back to normal

F on note 8 pro

thank you… fixed

But if i clear all data will photos, videos and other stuffs get deleted?

thaanks a lot mate

Mi9TPro User
This works for me. Thanks!

Thanks, sorted!

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.

same here just now!

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.
