How To Remove Bloatware From Any Xiaomi Devices (Without Root): Easiest Way!

4 min read August 17, 2020

Have you just gotten a new phone and is it already filled up with a bunch of spooky apps preinstalled? Have you tried long pressing and dragging them up your screen to uninstall? Alas! There isn’t any uninstall button. You have no choice; you feel like you are betrayed. Now you have had enough, you come up with all guns blazing- bold, determined and adamant about removing those apps. But it’s your new phone, you don’t want to root and temper. Disappointed? Don’t be! We have got you- here is how you can remove bloatware from MIUI without root.


Bloatware

Bloatware is the software that comes preinstalled and licensed on a device by the manufacturer itself. Most of the times, bloatware is merged as system app; hence the user does not have the administrative privileges to uninstall them. These apps can be useful sometimes but statistics shows otherwise.

Software vendors often make an agreement to integrate their products into the device’s system. These products are often tailored version of their original software. However, most of the time smartphone manufacturers slap apps into their system as per the demographic data. For example: apps like TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and Flipkart come preinstalled in Indian variants because of the demographic data. They are deemed as the most installed apps. Besides, company also add their own apps like browser, calculator, cleaner, documents, etc. as their trademark.

Bloatware occupy exceptional amount of your disk space and memory. Unless you use them, these apps just collide along to form a mound of debris. Moreover, they consume a lot of your battery and display advertisement. Even more- trojan, spyware, trackers and virus. Yes! These apps may be using, modifying or tracking our data under the hood. Just for record, Mi Browser was accused of sending user data report including browser history back into their main server, even in incognito mode. This is just a slight paradigm of what bloatware are pulling off beneath. These preloaded apps do not value your privacy and solitude. It is always better to get rid of them.

How to remove bloatware without root?

Here is a detailed guide on how you can remove bloatwares from your system. This method is only for Xiaomi devices, please do not perform it on other brands.

(While this method is a sure shot, we do not take liability of any damages. Even so, please comment down if you encounter any problem, we will try to help you as much as possible.)

Requirements

  1. Smartphone (with battery > 30%)
  2. A PC
  3. A USB data cable

Steps for Debloating

You have to perform a series of steps; be sure you check every one of them.

Step 1: Enable Developer Option

To enable developer option, go to your device Settings → About Phone. Now, you can see MIUI Version. Tap continuously on it until you get a toast that says ‘You are now a developer’.

Step 2: Turn on USB Debugging

To turn USB Debugging on, go to your device Settings → Additional Settings → Developer Option. Locate USB Debugging and toggle it on. (You might get security warnings, just accept them.)

Step 3: Confirmation

Below the USB Debugging, you can see three other options. Check enable Install via USB and check enable USB Debugging (Security Settings). Confirm your options with the screenshot below :-

(The steps are similar for MI A-series devices running on Android One. Go to Settings > System > Developer options and enable USB debugging.)

Now that we have enabled necessary settings on our phone, turn your PC on and follow these steps precisely.

Step 4: Downloading Files

Get your PC and download these files accordingly. Don’t freak out with their names, they are the easiest.

·        Java SE Development Kit– for Windows, for Mac OS, for Linux

·        Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools– download here

Step 5: Installation

After you have downloaded the above files, store them in one folder. Now install the JDK-14.0.2.exe that we just downloaded.

Step 6: Open .JAR file

Now click on XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar that we downloaded earlier. Then open it. (Give permissions if it asks). You will see a window like this :-

Step 7: Connect your Phone

After the application is opened, connect your phone to the PC via USB. Check your phone- the device is going to ask for authorization, which you will have to allow.

Then wait for the application to detect your phone. You will see the window like this once it gets detected :-

Step 8: Debloating

After your phone is connected, you will see a list of system apps on the screen. Now, check all the apps you want to uninstall from your phone.

At the bottom, you can see an Uninstall button. Just click on it.

(Do not tamper with other options if you are not familiar.)

Step 9: Restart

Once the uninstallation is complete, safely unplug your USB. Then restart your device.

  2. I’ve just received my Redmi k20 pro running miui 10, I have removed bloatwares but haven’t updated to miui 12 yet, so will there be any issue when I update to miui 12 like soft brick or will those apps come back again? Please help.

    Reply

    1. No, there shouldn’t be any issue like soft-bricking when you update your phone in future. But it is likely that apps will come back again after update. So, I would suggest you to update to MIUI 12 first, then removing the bloatware. Either way, soft brick is unlikely to happen Arnab.

        1. I am afraid this won’t work from a Chromebook since well, it’s a Chromebook. On a normal Linux, Mac or Windows computer you can just run the .jar file, Chromebook can’t.

      3. After you the app is opened, check your phone again. (Unlock it if screen is locked)

      1. Hi Mohit!

        I tried this on my Redmi Note 4. I uninstalled Apps, Browser, Facebook Apps, Google Videos, Google Hangouts, Wallpaper, System Apps Updater (GetApps), Mi Video, Mi Music, Mi Roaming, Mi Recycle, Mi Pay, Mi Drop, Mi Cloud, Mi Account, Mi Games, File Explorer, E-mail, Mi Browser.

        It worked perfectly well. The free space in the phone went from 23 GB to 29 GB!!
        I’m planning to do the same on my Mom’s Redmi Note 3, Dad’s Redmi Note 7 Pro & Sister’s Mi4i also!!

        1. I had no problem uninstalling App Vault in my phone. Also, if you can’t find certain apps- download “Package Name Viewer” from play store, search for the Gallery app’s package name there. Then, you can use the same name to navigate in the .JAR application.
          Or, you can also follow our new article to uninstall apps similarly: here

          2. It would also be great if you could tell me how to install GCam on my Redmi Note 4 & make it my default camera app right at the lock screen..

        2. Is it okay to remove Messages from MIUI & entire app “Security”? Anyways I don’t use Contacts by MIUI. I use Google alternatives for SMS & Contacts. Will that create any problem in my phone if I do that??

      3. After you the app is opened, check your phone again. (Unlock it if screen is locked)

  56. Hello Mohit,

    I notice you haven’t listed YouTube as an app safe to remove. My default and never used YouTube has bloated to 173 MB 😑 and I want to uninstall it. Can I not do it with this app? Is it unsafe? Will it cause my device to soft brick? I don’t want to try if that’s the case.

    I’d like to remove:
    YouTube
    ShareMe
    Quick ball
    Quick apps
    Mi Pay
    Mi Mover
    Google Text To Speech Engine
    Digital Wellbeing
    Device Health Services
    Chrome
    Mi Calendar
    App Vault
    Android Auto
    Android Accessibility Suite

    Are these apps safe to remove? I’d like to avoid resetting my device if at all possible.

    I’m on MIUI Global 11.0.2.0 (QCMINXM)
    Android version 10 QKQ1.191014.001

    1. Hello there, I may have missed it. The apps you mentioned are all safe to uninstall actually (tested on RN4 running MIUI 11). As far as I know, most of them aren’t integral but rather add-on apps so you should be fine uninstalling them.

        I have a few more questions.

        Will this all work on a Redmi 7A?

        If something goes wrong (like soft brick), will a reset fix this issue?

        Will anything happen to my data?

        If I uninstall, will the app just stop showing from my list of apps with just minimal space freeing up or will the entirety of the space allocated to the redundant apps free up?

        Thanks

        1. Hi, chronologically answering:-
          Yes, it will work on Redmi 7A.
          Yes, a reset should fix a soft brick in case.
          No, nothing is going to happen to your data (unless it’s the app data of the app you want to uninstall)
          Yes, the entire space allocated to the redundant app will free up once you remove the app.

          1. Hello again.
            I finally took the plunge and tried to uninstall all the offending apps. The process was successful!
            However, no space was cleared up! This is extremely disappointing. While all the apps I uninstall /disabled have gone into hiding, my storage menu still shows the same numbers now as before uninstall.
            What is to be done? Is this normal?
            Thanks.

  69. Hi Mohit, when I followed your guide on my Mac – running High Sierra – it failed to open the .jar file, saying: ‘it cannot be launched.’ When I try to run it in Terminal, it tells me: “Main has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0”. So I retried by downloading jdk-15 instead of jdk-14, but I still got the same result. Don’t understand class file versions vs. jdk versions, so any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T is a gorgeous phone, but these MI apps and the ads are driving me nuts!

So many thanks to Technolobe and special thanks to Mohit Aryal for this wonderful post and the more wonderful follow up by Mohit Aryal.The bloatware in redmi/mi/xiaomi phones are so irritating and are sometimes so privacy violating.The way that has been described here to get rid of them is so easy,smooth and effective without rooting.I have already uninstalled quite a few apps and disabled some.
    I wish I could uninstall or at least disable apps like ‘contacts and dialer’ and ‘messages ‘ and replace them with their Google versions.
    I also wish to uninstall the gallery app and the security app but I am nervous and do not know if uninstalling them would be safe or not.
    Could you please guide about this Mr Mohit?
    I am on miui 11 stable built in version on a redmi prime 9.
    Will Mohit or anyone else help?

    1. Thank you for awesome compliments, DG. I think you would be fine uninstalling the Gallery app, however, removing the Security App has always been recorded to invite bootloops and whatnot.

  72. Dear Mohit.

    I cannot start the jar-file.
    I use macos big sure 11.0.1 (20B29)
    and the following have environment:

    java 14.0.2 2020-07-14
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 14.0.2+12-46)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0.2+12-46, mixed mode, sharing)

    What could be the reason here?
    Thank you very much!

  75. An excellent, clear and simple explanation. I now have a clean system and app drawer. Am I being naïve here – but is it not a simple factory reset or reinstall process if you make a mistake?

    1. Hi there, Tamim. This method works only in Xiaomi devices. I have tried and, unfortunately, the Realme phones aren’t compatible with the app mentioned in this article.

  78. Hello,
    I finally took the plunge and tried to uninstall all the offending apps. The process was successful!
    However, no space was cleared up! This is extremely disappointing. While all the apps I uninstall /disabled have gone into hiding, my storage menu still shows the same numbers now as before uninstall.
    What is to be done? Is this normal?
    Thanks.

    1. Hey Vivek, thanks for your feedback. I don’t currently own a MIUI phone so it’s quite hard for me to tell without checking, sorry. Please check our other article, you can manually remove them and it’s quite similar process.

    1. Hi there, sorry for having to make you wait. Will you please check the links again?
      They are all working in our devices.

      Also, if you are using chrome, it detects the file as potentially harmful, so do allow chrome to download your file. Here is the screenshot:

  93. I also want to uninstall Google dialer, Google messages and g keyboard apps. Are they safe to uninstall. I reckon they are since those are installable through play store. Can someone inform me, thanks.

  95. Hello.
    Is the JDK 64bit Windows only?
    Please add 32bit Windows JDK as some of us only have access to 32 bit tablet computer.
    Thank you.

  96. Hi Mohit, All I want to do is to install the Mi Dailer with Mi Message app on my Mi 10i. The google dialer & message app is useless. I have watched a lot of videos on youtube but they seem just too complicated to follow the steps. If you have a simple solution then please do help me.

  99. hello, thanks for the tutorial
    I followed the steps, but the pc does not recognize the smartphone
    driver problem
    is there any solution

    Reply

    1. Hi, there. Please make sure you have installed ADB drivers correctly. And, check/install USB drivers (QUALCOMM, mostly) in your PC too. It is usually because of these two.
      * Also, connect your phone in “file transfer” mode, if it is in “charging” mode.
      * Then, be sure to allow permissions from your smartphone once it is connected to PC [step 7].

  103. Hi Mohit Aryal,
    This is VIJAY here. I just purchased Mi10 T. I removed bloatware using above tool. Will there be any problem in future updates like delay in receiving update or version not supporting something like that. I am really thankful for the tool . Sorry if it is the repeated question.

    Regards,
    Vijay

    1. Hey Vijay. Don’t worry about the updates, you will get all the updates (as regular) and there won’t be any problems regarding it. However, the updates may reinstall the bloatware so you may need to remove them again.
