How to Remove Spam & Ads Notifications From Any Xiaomi Smartphone

HI FRIENDS,

Xiaomi mention the presence of a one-tap option to disable system-wide ads, but that feature was missing in the global build.

If you are a MIUI 12 user and want to give your smartphone a deep cleanse, here’s how you can do it.

How to Disable the MSA Process

To begin our process of disabling ads, we will have to cut off a few things at source.

One of these is MSA or MIUI System Ads, which is one of the biggest reasons for seeing ads in stock apps.

Follow These Steps :

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Navigate to Passwords & security > Authorisation & revocation.
3. Here you’ll have to disable msa.
4. Scroll down a bit and disable GetApps as well.
5. You’ll get a 10-second warning message, asking you if you’re sure you want to do it.
6. After the countdown, press Revoke.
7. In case it doesn’t let you toggle it off in the first go, try it again till it’s off.
8. Even if you reboot your phone, MSA should still be disabled.

Follow These Steps :
