With the arrival of the latest versions of MIUI, Xiaomi has been implementing various mechanisms that allow us to protect our smartphone against theft . In addition, some of these also increase our level of privacy , preventing access to the system.
In view of this, below we have compiled several MIUI options that you should undoubtedly activate in order to protect your Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO against a possible case of theft or loss. Thanks to these, you will prevent them from accessing your private information and also, you will be able to locate their location remotely:
1. Locate your Xiaomi in case of theft or loss
One of the options that you should undoubtedly have activated on your Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO is the Find device functionality. This will allow us to obtain the real-time location of the device in case of loss or theft . To do this, simply carry out these steps:
- Go to Settings> Mi Account> Xiaomi Cloud
- Once inside we will activate the option « Find device» . In general, we usually have this option active by default.
After its activation, if we need to locate the device remotely, it would be enough to access Xiaomi Cloud and log in with our Mi Account. After that, all you have to do is go to the "Find device" option.
2. Prevent them from being able to disable mobile data, WiFi or activate airplane mode
Another fundamental option that MIUI includes and that you should have activated is the impossibility of displaying the Control Center or the notification panel with the device locked. To do this, you just have to:
- Go to Settings> Notifications and Control Center
- Once inside, we will only have to access the option " The elements are shown on the Lock screen after sliding down " and deactivate the following elements:
- Notification panel
- Control center
- Smart home
3. Improve privacy by preventing your notifications from being shown
By default, MIUI shows the content of notifications on the lock screen . This means that if the terminal is lost, anyone will be able to view our messages or even incoming SMS with access codes to sensitive services.
To prevent the lock screen from showing the content of the notifications, it will be enough to:
- Go to Settings> Notifications and Control Center
- Once inside we will access Lock screen> Format
- After that, all you have to do is select the option « Do not show notifications on the Lock screen «
