[Guide] Remove Ads

[DutchSnake]

Because i live in the EU ads only show up limited. But don't worry, here is a way to disable all ads on MiU no matter where you live.
Ads never should be integrated in a system software, that's up to the consumer and not a decision from the company/brand.
So here is a small tutorial to make the choice for yourself, no root needed.

First we're going to disable MSA (MSA stands for “MIUI System Ads")
Go to: Settings > Passwords & Security > Authorization & Revocation
Disable "msa", sometimes you have to wait a few seconds before disable it, or even re-try again. This can take a minute.

Next > Go back (In Authorization & Revocation) > And go to Privacy > Ad Services And disable "Personalized as recommendations"

MiU:
Folders: Hold the name of the folder, the same if you want to change the name of the folder. Disable the "Promoted apps" below to remove ads. Unfortunately this process has to repeated on every folder you use.
(Note: EU versions doesn't have ads in system software)
Themes: Personalized (Bottom right) > Settings > Disable "Show ads" & "Personalized recommendations"
Google Store: Install a app (doesn't matter what) after installing it switch to another screen (scanning) > Settings (Right above corner) > Disable "Receive recommendations"


Next up are the MiU Apps:
Security App: Settings (Right above startup screen) > Disable "Recieve recommendations"
Mi Music: Settings (Left above startup screen) > Advanced Settings > Scroll down > Disable "Show ads" You can also Disable "Online Content services" as well.
MiBrowser: Personalized (Bottom right) > Settings (Right above corner) > Scroll down > Other > Advanced > Disable "show ads"
Mi Video: Settings (Right above startup screen) > Disable "Personalized recommendations"
Downloads: Settings (Right above startup screen) > Disable "Show recommended content"
Cleaner: Settings (Right above startup screen) > Disable "Show recommended content"

Hope this helps, enjoy a adsfree Poco X3 experience
:good:

Sure there are a lot of apps/dns options or vpn's out there that can solve against ads. Don't het me wrong i use surfshark on top of everything for my own.
Even removing them like the option bacitoto gave. But in my guide is a way without using any tools and removing them in the core, non root without using the need or to be depended for other apps for resolving this issue.
Poco x3 is just a few weeks old, i'm trying to still have my warranty valid.

Try the very usefull application manager - ADB AppControl.
This tool will allow you to disable unnecessary apps (and bloatware ads). Just use it wisely.

Settings to type DNS - private DNS to fill in dns.adguard.com or Blokada or Adguard applications. Beautiful lock

Yes even on all MUI 12.0 devices, although POCO is currently the only one so far with ads showing.
