How to Uninstall Pre Install in Xiaomi Devices

If you’ve ever used a Xiaomi phone, you’ve probably noticed it comes packed with quite a few pre-installed apps—often called bloatware. Some are system essentials, but many are Xiaomi’s own services or third-party apps you might never touch. The problem is, these can hog storage, run in the background, and even show ads. Luckily, you don’t have to just live with them. This guide will show you how to uninstall or disable those apps, from the easiest methods to a more advanced ADB approach—no rooting needed.

Why Bother Uninstalling Pre-Installed Apps?

Getting rid of unwanted apps can actually make a noticeable difference:

• Free up storage: Those apps can take up more space than you realize.
• Boost performance: Fewer background apps mean your phone can run smoother and maybe even save battery.
• Declutter: A cleaner app drawer is always nicer.
• Privacy: You limit the data those unused apps can collect.
• Fewer ads: Some pre-installed apps contribute to ads in MIUI, so removing them helps here too.

What You Should Know Before You Start

• System apps vs. bloatware: Not all pre-installed apps can or should be removed. Essential system apps keep your phone stable, and uninstalling them might cause problems—or worse, brick your device. We’re focusing on the bloatware and non-essential Xiaomi apps here.
• Disable or uninstall? Some apps only let you disable them, which stops them from running and hides them from your app list but doesn’t free up storage.
• No rooting here: This guide avoids rooting your device, since rooting can void warranties and introduce risks.

Method 1: Direct Uninstall (Easiest for Many Bloatware Apps)

A good chunk of Xiaomi’s pre-installed apps can be uninstalled just like any app you downloaded.

How to do it:

1. From your Home screen or app drawer:
   • Find the app you want gone.
   • Long-press its icon.
   • Tap Uninstall or the i (info) icon, then hit Uninstall.
   • Confirm when prompted.
2. Or from Settings:
   • Go to Settings > Apps > Manage apps.
   • Scroll to find the app.
   • Tap it, then hit Uninstall if available.
   • If you only see Disable, that means full uninstall isn’t possible here.

Common apps you can uninstall:

• Mi Community
• Mi Store
• GetApps (Xiaomi’s own app store)
• Mi Browser (though some like to keep it)
• Certain pre-installed games or social apps like Facebook, TikTok

Method 2: Disable Apps (When Uninstall Isn’t an Option)

For apps without an uninstall option, disabling is the next best thing. It stops them running and removes them from view.

If you want to get serious and uninstall more stubborn apps without rooting, this method uses your computer and the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) interface. It’s a bit technical, so proceed carefully.

You’ll need:

• A PC or Mac or Linux machine
• USB cable
• ADB and Fastboot tools installed (grab official Platform Tools from Google’s developer site)
• A charged Xiaomi phone

Steps:

1. Enable Developer Options:
   • Go to Settings > About phone.
   • Tap MIUI version 7-8 times until you see “You are now a developer!”
2. Turn on USB Debugging:
   • Go to Settings > Additional settings > Developer options.
   • Toggle on USB debugging and accept warnings.
3. Connect your phone to your computer via USB.
4. Open a command prompt or terminal window in the folder with your ADB tools.
5. Check connection:
   • Type adb devices and hit enter.
   • Your device should appear with a serial number.
6. Find app package names:
   • Use an app like “Package Name Viewer” on your phone, or in the terminal:
     adb shell pm list packages | grep ‘xiaomi’
     This lists Xiaomi-related apps.
7. Uninstall apps:
   • Run:
     adb shell pm uninstall –user 0 <package_name>
     Replace <package_name> with the actual package name.
   • If successful, you’ll see “Success.”

Example package names (double-check before uninstalling):

Easier Way: Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools GUI

For a simpler, safer experience, try the open-source Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools GUI made by Szaki:

• Download it from GitHub (look for the latest .jar file).
• You’ll need Java installed to run it.
• Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to your PC.
• Launch the tool; it will detect your device and list uninstallable or disable-able apps.
• Check the ones you want gone and hit Uninstall or Disable.

After Debloating

• Restart your phone to settle changes.
• Keep an eye on how your phone performs—if something breaks, you can reinstall or enable the app you removed last.
• Repeat the process occasionally, especially after big MIUI updates, to keep bloatware in check.

By following these methods, you can clean up your Xiaomi device from unwanted pre-installed apps without rooting. Just be careful when removing apps tied to core system functions, and you’ll enjoy more storage, better performance, and less clutter in no time.
