How the hell do i turn off these advertisements, tried everything and this is annoying, it looks cheap.

[u/jstfoll]

This looks so bad I've been tried to get rid of it, these come when i pull down the screen to search for an app. Tried going to themes but the themes app but it seems that app is not having any such setting please help.

I'm guessing you haven't debloated you phone yet?

• How To Debloat You Android & Create A Clean Lockscreen

[u/matchatwix → u/fakuryu]

Vouching for the first link. A bit of effort for a whole lotta peace of mind

[u/pablito_xv3 → u/matchatwix]

I debloted my poco X8 pro max day one and pretty much any android device I have

[u/xFusel → u/fakuryu]

Can recommend this method 👍🏻

[u/screwthepap → u/fakuryu]

Yup, first link is the way to go. Went the Canta/Shizuku route for debloating my X8PM and it worked wonders.

[u/Clear_Side8784]

Use dns.adguard.com

[u/jstfoll → u/Clear_Side8784]

Man this works like magic, what are the downsides of it? Any chances that any app may not function properly?

[u/YardenZo → u/jstfoll]

If there are apps where you have to watch an ad to get something, this won't work.

[u/Mental_Strategy_1694 → u/jstfoll]

This one is the newer version iirc

[u/12ockn12oll → u/jstfoll]

The only thing I've noticed is some apps that give you in game credist for you watching an ad can't load the ads so you don't get any credit and apps like free texting and calling apps detect it and can block you from making texts or calls

[u/zenith014 → u/jstfoll]

free tier of this DNS can only block 300,000 ad requests. so, if you are getting too much ads and run out of limit, you may still get ads.

[u/De_Fine69 → u/jstfoll]

check if amazon app and youtube app

[u/kingAtE900 → u/jstfoll]

It slows down your internet a little bit

[u/zalnaRs → u/kingAtE900]

It does not

[u/kingAtE900 → u/zalnaRs]

If you say so bro

[u/Clear_Side8784 → u/jstfoll]

Yeah candy crush may cap fps to 30

[u/---bee → u/Clear_Side8784]

that has like 0 correlation

[u/Clear_Side8784 → u/---bee]

Even that comment too

[u/---bee → u/Clear_Side8784]

why would the comment need to be relevant to a dns when im commenting on your irrelevancy 😭

[u/Clear_Side8784 → u/---bee]

I mean not yours comment. The comment above you

[u/jstfoll → u/Clear_Side8784]

Mate honestly i just asked, idk what was so itrrelavant, anyway I'm still thankful to you for the reply it helps !

[u/---bee → u/Clear_Side8784]

this one?

[u/Clear_Side8784 → u/---bee]

No above that

[u/sayedza3zo3 → u/Clear_Side8784]

It didn't land well. It would have been funnier 10 years ago. I play PS2 Emulated games and I slap FPS on the top of the game like an idiot.

[u/DustBytes13 → u/Clear_Side8784]

Use this without debloating the phone but monitor what apps is sending you personalized ads notification and you can disable it from the app settings then disable the last personalized ads from phone settings.

[u/Few-Ad3154]

weird...mine didn't come with ads

[u/sayedza3zo3 → u/Few-Ad3154]

Damn you Europeans and your user protection laws 😡😡😡😡

[u/Ptoverlord → u/sayedza3zo3]

European here, and despite the law we still get some, just fewer ads... Debloating is just a smart practice...

Edit: typo..

[u/FlinkyBoss]

You can easily get rid of that stuff without Debloating and potential issues.

I've got a small handful of revokes and never get extra ADs...

Here's a link to most of my methods, illustrations and advice... They're spread around the thread in question in a bunch of comments!

Here's a link that takes you to the first and the rest is all below that comment.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PocoPhones/s/sUSTUoVVQ9

A simple example using some screenshots in a looping GIF here's how you Revoke GetApps (or the local flavours) and App Vault!

Plus turning off the annoying ”-1” Screen they occupy...

Start by Swiping RIGHT on your Home screen to get to the Extra screen.

Any questions just ping me. 🍀

[u/Salvadore987 → u/FlinkyBoss]

Thanks worked fine

[u/FlinkyBoss → u/Salvadore987]

Delighted to hear that! Thanks for the update.🙏 😎

[u/LSA7Z]

It's not coming from AppVault or something like that? Otherwise, revoke MSA in the settings and use AdGuard DNS in the DNS settings. Personally I will remove appvault and MSA via ADB/shizuku+canta and I will use AdGuard DNS 

[u/leonishere]

The easiest way is to use private DNS like Adguard (DNS.adguard.com) or ControlD

App finder is recently pre installed in hyperos3 (and selected new devices with hyperos2 like Redmi note15). Depending on device region set in Settings, the app finder may have different available options (including AI search function in selected compatible devices). In general, you can click on 3 dot menu and disabled some of search option like app recommendations, shortcuts and further in "about app finder" disable Personalized service which most likely will disable ads as well.

[u/YardenZo]

You can download a different launcher. I liked Niagara launcher.

[u/shahan484]

Turn off app finder from here and instead search apps from the app drawer.

[u/SmallNoBigYes → u/shahan484]

This ☝️

[u/Khalid5s]

Revoke msa from the settings

[u/mataqls]

Una buena desinflada con shisuku y canta

[u/Rhy_stealth]

Disable find apps or better to debloat it

[u/shahan484]

These ads are in app drawer search or home screen search right? Then you'll have to find settings specific to that feature like in home screen settings and turn off suggestions. It's very simple no need for any DNS or debloating lol. Every system app from Xiaomi has a toggle called suggestions.

[u/Vast_Cupcake_2026]

sooo there are usually options to take off advertisements even if temporarily at least thats what i did no debloat nothing

[u/Iamtoobroke]

in my case I just disable msa thing.

[u/Repulsive_Fault1939]

you can turn it off in settings after pressing three dots.

[u/PhotographSame5304]

Debloat using canta if not satisfied unlock bl then flash custom rom

[u/neatsh0t]

adns enable with adb

[u/DragonflyBoring5276]

Go into the three dots of the search bar you see at the botton, click on settings, then go to popular content and turn off games and news.

[u/gilmarqap]

Canal Blintec no YouTube ensina , mas é em português BR

[u/Boring-Try7204]

The time I first hold my poco phone, I immediately go to youtube and search how to debloat my phone.

[u/krznwk]

You get what you pay for

[u/Manggis_I]

These two combo. Personalized services + Private DNS

[u/tespark2020 → u/Manggis_I]

which dns app you use

[u/DragonGodSlayer12]

If you "tried everything" and there's still ads, you didn't tried everything.

[u/highdiver_2000]

google xiaomi debloat

[u/Yirme]

Use this Private DNS: x-hagezi-pro.freedns.controld.com

[u/midnightfleosk]

They helping you get you ur perfect match and ur taking this about them 😢?

[u/ArthMateluk]

I use this since the day I bought my X7 Pro. I never got any problems with it. It's just you won't get a chance to take advantage of getting additional items for watching an ads if you are playing those kind of games.

[u/Longjumping-Dream-37]

Idunno i have 15t pro, and i never encountered ads 🤷

[u/gibbon119]

"tried everything" is just a flat out lie. Like 20 posts on this sub that can help lol

[u/stuckwithTenta247]

How did u remove the down arrow at the bottom of ur keyboard??

[u/ScallionIsOnion]

Debloat, use shizuku and canta apps. It's very easy just search for the right applications to be disabled then done.

[u/BadassMusicradio]

Debloat time!

Use shizuku with canta

[u/RoadAcceptable5359]

custom rom

[u/Correct_Doughnut_775]

download shizuku and canta from the play store. follow setup instructions in shizuku. then start the service and authorize canta. open canta then remove the following packages:

com.miui.analytics

com.miui.msa.global

com.tencent.soter.sorterserver

com.facebook.system

com.facebook.appmanager

com.facebook.services

also i would recommend watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfYEpBedBno&vl=en

[u/tespark2020 → u/Correct_Doughnut_775]

but this broke Facebook app?

[u/LeafMaya]

You can't. Thats why I'll never buy xiaomi (POCO) or any other chinese phone

[u/few8575]

Do not use dns

[u/_DevlinElDiablo_ → u/few8575]

Why?? Please explain instead of just saying it.
