TS should learn from you tho.

Some time ago I had gifted a Redmi Note 11 to a friend in graditude for assistance rendered. She is not tech savvy but successfully spent a few minutes following thar website's instructions and disabled all ads with ease. Am sure TS can do the same handily.

Doubt that she did it without people helping…

Just now unker confirm with one of my staff who are using Xiaomi 10T, he also confirmed the ads will pop-up once awhile, sometimes is news ads….

Lucrative income for xiaomi…as they don’t think they are hardware company but they continue to flood the market with a lot hardware…

I using Xiaomi 12t for 1 year plus no ads also

(Bought from official Xiaomi in store)

TS you bought the phone from online global version and not from official Xiaomi store right?

Go to Fdroid, download, sideload and install DNS66, start it. Have a try..

maybe you installed one of those phone cleaner, phone booster, phone security etc

You're free to doubt, but the proof is in the eating of the pudding. It's not that hard to disable ads. Hopefully that staffer's responsibilities doesn't encompass anything tech-related

I bought my redmi note 12 Aug this year from Shopee (global rom non official store). There are ads only in xiaomi own apps like Optimize - Cleaner and Boost. Camera no ads. File explorer had small ad section. But that went away somehow.

However i did notice additional apps/ ads will come back if you install free games that are ad driven. There is something inside MIUI that auto loads similar ads that certain aps has the same sponsors to.

Omg! Is xiaomi still doing this dodgy shit in 2023 ? Good hardware but shitty software budaya xiaomi

Its not dodgy la. Just remove all the apps you know you do not need. Some apps are baked into the UI and can;t be removed. But you can stop them from ever starting in the settings. Thats how 3 of my Redmi phones didn't have super annoying ad issues like TS.

buy iphone SE

I bought at retail shop in Kepong

Did delete the one not use. But the ads still there.

One question, the ads popup even when you're on the home screen? If yes, then you've installed some kind of malware already.

My advice, reset and setup your phone again, and careful what you install next time.

Giving the model name is not enough. Is it a Chinese phone- Chinese rom, Chinese specs or Malaysian spec phone with Malaysian warranty?
Xiaomi is notorious for adware and spyware on their Chinese phones. Their overseas models have less ads/spyware but its a hassle because you have to go through all their stock apps and turn off ads, assuming you haven't installed any dodgy apps which is causing the problem.

don't simply install apps.
go to /r/fossdroid and look for alternatives.

Which app you using

what app?
