It is revealed that Xiaomi will reduce the number of pre-installed apps on mobile phones but cancel the one-click advertising function

【CNMO Technology News】Although there are some exceptions, it is difficult to find an Android smartphone that does not come with too much pre-installed software. One brand that doesn’t do a very good job in this regard is Xiaomi. Not only does it have multiple pre-installed apps, but there are also ads everywhere. This ruins the user experience. Xiaomi is working to solve this problem by reducing the number of pre-installed apps on its phones. There were also rumors that the company was developing a single toggle button to disable ads, but the brand has reportedly scrapped that plan.

Last month, Xiaomi was discovered to be developing an easy way to disable ads on smartphones. There's a new "Advertising in system apps" toggle button in the settings menu. As the name suggests, turning off this feature will remove all ads visible in Xiaomi phone system apps. This feature is found in Xiaomi's HyperOS.

2. Xiaomi will not launch an ad-disabling switch for the time being

However, Xiaomi has confirmed to Android Authority that it does not currently plan to launch any such ad-disabling switch. The brand argued that only a small number of users would discover and use the switch, preferring to focus on making "changes that all users can easily access and benefit from."

3. Xiaomi reduces the display of pre-installed applications and content

But the situation is not all improving. Xiaomi said that it will reduce the entry page for display of pre-installed applications and content. These new changes will soon be seen in the upcoming flagship models.

4. Exclusively for flagship models

Fewer pre-installed apps sounds great, but it looks like these changes will be limited to flagship phones.

5. Ads issue still exists

Additionally, ad issues will still exist as Xiaomi has confirmed that it will not introduce any switch to remove ads. This would have been a useful feature, as it's not easy to turn off ads at the moment.
