Earlier we told you how to turn off unwanted ads in MIUI 10 with a step-by-step guide. At the same time, now we are going to tell you how to disable unwanted ads on MIUI 11.
Many people do not know on which version their phone is working, so to know your smartphone version, open the Settings of your Xiaomi phone and go to ‘About phone’. Here you will get all the information related to your phone, MIUI information will be given like this, ‘MIUI Global 11.0.4’. If the version of your phone is MIUI 11, then you can turn off unwanted ads in your phone in this way.
Block unwanted advertising through the MSA process
The biggest reason why ads appear in stock apps is because of the MSA or MIUI system advertising process, which runs in the background. In the previous version of MIUI, you needed to switch off several times to turn off the ads, but in MIUI 11, we found the method much easier, how? Let’s know-
1. First go to the Settings app.
2. Complete the Authorization & revocation process by entering the password.
3. Here you will see ‘msa’ list with green Android logo, which you have to ‘off’.
4. After this you have to do the same with GetApps, the last option of the list.
5. After this you will get a 10 second warning message asking you to confirm this step.
6. After the countdown is over, press ‘Revoke’. If it doesn’t turn off at once, you can do it several times. (Though you may not need to do this.)
7. After this even if you reboot your phone, MSA will remain disabled.
Other changes to stop advertising-
The above method is sufficient, but we have other ways to turn off ads. By using these methods you can completely get rid of unwanted ads. Follow these steps for this-
1. Go to Password & Security by following the previous method.
2. Now scroll down by clicking on Privacy, then tap on the User Experience Program section.
3. Here you have to disable the toggle switch for User Experience Program and Send diagnostic data automatically.
