Xiaomi testing a single, system-wide disable ads toggle button in HyperOS: report
Looks like Xiaomi is finally listening to its customers.
Highlights
- Xiaomi is reportedly testing one single toggle to disable system-wide ads.
- The feature was seen working on a test build on the Xiaomi 13 Pro.
- Currently, one can disable ads system-wide but this involves navigating through multiple menus and settings scattered across the system.
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.
