Recommendations for Xiaomi users and MIUI

Here is some useful configuration tips if you are new here, and are owning a Xiaomi device.

In general, Blokada will work out of the box on Xiaomi devices. However, MIUI is known for being particularly ridden with tracking, compared to other global brands.

That’s why we recommend activating the Xiaomi package of Goodbye Ads blocklist, on top of any other blocklists you may have activated on your device.

Additionally, it’s a good idea to check the Brand specific information article.

To activate GoodbyeAds Xiaomi, follow these instructions.

Blokada 5 (Android and iOS)

  • Open Advanced tab
  • Choose Goodbye Ads
  • Select Xiaomi
  • Go back to Advanced tab. Switch Goodbye Ads on.
  • That’s it! Make sure Blokada is active in Libre (blue ring) or Plus (orange ring) mode.

Blokada 4 for Android

  • Open bottom menu
  • Navigate to Adblocking -> Hosts lists
  • Select Goodbye Ads Xiaomi
  • Make sure Blokada is active.

Blokada Slim

There is no such setting in Blokada Slim. Consider migrating to full Blokada (it’s free).

I have my eyes on a Poco F4 GT, thanks for the tip. Ads on apps are awful, but it’s worse inside the OS itself, I hope still works, sheesh! :grimacing:
