I tried flashing magisk v15 on miui global beta mm, but when I boot to system I couldn't find magisk installed . I also tried installing apk but it said magisk not installed. Magisk v14 works on this ROM( Magisk v15 works on my nos 8.1)

I have the same. Redmi 4A and Redmi 4Pro. Rom Xiaomi.eu 7.12.28. Magisk 14.0 works correctly. However, 15.0 and 15.1 can not be installed. Installation via twrp also does not change anything.

What version of TWRP are you running?, did you update from 14, 15, and 15.1 at once or reboot after each update, I also noticed you have force preserve force encryption checked,

I am running the ZCX TWRP (i think it's v3.0.2, available here in xda). I had installed v14.x and I was constantly updating when the new versions became available. I am now on 15.2 (so not all at once). I don't remember pressing the force encryption button, maybe it was checked for me...

Strange since I could not update to 15.2 no matter what I tried (only 14.0 would work), I was also using ZCX TWRP, I recently updated to redwolf twrp and now Magisk 15.2 went in fine, but I think it does have something to do with "force encryption" since RedWolf TWRP has a option "disable force encryption" and "disable dm-verity" , I don't think the first option was in ZCX twrp, so maybe when that got checked in your magisk manager it fixed it the same way the newer twrp does.

for people having issues here are the steps that worked for me

I'm having trouble with the part about flashing the Magisk Uninstaller file, since my device (Redmi Note 2) is encrypted, I can't seem to make it work from the TWRP, in the same way wiping the Dalvik/Cache doesn't work.
So I'm stuck on Magisk 14 and even the direct update from the Magisk app puts my device in a bootloop (resolved only by installing the latest rom from the TWRP), maybe because I can't uninstall Magisk properly.

Should I try to flash the uninstall package from the adb?

EDIT: I finally managed to solve it by
1: Uninstalling Magisk from the Magisk manager app itself rather than flashing the uninstaller zip
2: Rebooted into the TWRP recovery where I first followed the instructions here under "Keeping dm-verity and forced encryption
": https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73145975&postcount=2
3: and I then installed the latest Magisk 15.3
booted into system and no bootloop this time, successfully switched from Magisk 14 to 15
