Xiaomi’s MIUI though offers quite a lot of features, it is the ads department that put off the whole seamless user experience. Owing to the disappointment of the customers, the company allowed them to uninstall default apps and toggle within specific apps to turn off recommendations/ ads. However, even that wasn’t enough as not everyone is aware of these multiple steps. In the latest development, it is heard that Xiaomi is testing one single toggle to disable system-wide ads.
