MIUI 10 runs very well on Redmi Note 7 Pro, but it has too many ads. Here's how to disable ads on MIUI 10
One of our biggest complaints with every Xiaomi smartphone is the ads in MIUI. Xiaomi doesn't seem to think it's necessary to give its customers an ad-free experience even after they've paid for a smartphone. MIUI is notorious for sending promotional messages via notifications from pre-loaded apps such as Mi Browser, Mi Music, and Mi Video. You also get to see ads inside various pre-loaded apps, even with the latest update — MIUI 10.
Fortunately, there is a way to disable ads on Xiaomi smartphones running MIUI 10, such as Redmi Note 7 or Redmi Note 7 Pro. Follow the long list of steps below to remove ads from MIUI 10 on your Xiaomi smartphone. If your phone is running MIUI 9, follow these steps instead.
If you are not sure what version of MIUI your phone is running, you will find that information under Settings > About Phone. Now check what's next to MIUI version.
