MIUI 11 is the next version of MIUI that is expected to launch sometime later this month alongside the Xiaomi Mi MIX 4. MIUI is one of the feature-rich Android skins out there, but almost every user is now aware of the ads which the custom interface from Xiaomi comes with. MIUI comes with a lot of ads inside the in-built apps, ads through system notifications, and in the past, there are some instances where users noticed ads even in the Settings app. After a lot of outrage on the internet, Xiaomi decided to reduce the appearance of the ads on smartphones, however, MIUI still shows ads considering the company charges only 5% through hardware. Xiaomi has now confirmed that it will soon introduce a switch inside MIUI that will allow users to disable ads on their smartphone and it might be introduced with forthcoming MIUI 11.

MIUI to Soon Offer Manual Disable Option for Ads
A few months back, Xiaomi stated that MIUI 11 would show very minimal ads compared to MIUI 10 as the company doesn’t want to ruin the user experience. A few days ago, MIUI Experience Head, has confirmed that the company will soon introduce an option that will allow users to disable the ads entirely on their smartphone. Right now, there are several ways to disable ads on Xiaomi smartphones, but it has to be done individually and it’s a time-consuming process. Nevertheless, Xiaomi is going to introduce a manual button that will disable the ads altogether when enabled. No doubt it will be the most useful feature Xiaomi has ever introduced.
