Smartphone companies keep integrating new security measures and checks to prevent users from downloading malicious programs. Similarly, Xiaomi devices also introduced the MI Security runs on Redmi and other Xiaomi devices to track any malicious program or app. As a result, whenever you try to install an APK, you will find Xiaomi running a security scan before installing it. Although it is a preventive measure, it consumes a lot of time, which can sometimes be extremely frustrating. Moreover, if you are intentionally installing Spyware or other such applications, Xiaomi automatically uninstalls the program after the security check. So, is there any way to disable the Xiaomi Security Scan?
Fortunately, Xiaomi phones give you the flexibility to control the security scans on your device. So, if you are aware of the security risks and willing to disable the Xiaomi security scan while installing APKs, here is everything you need to know. This article outlines the process to disable security scans on your Xiaomi phones.
How to Disable Xiaomi Security Scan when Installing an APK?
Whether you are installing apps from an unknown source or the Google Play Store, Mi Security Scan interrupts the process in both scenarios. What’s more annoying is that it keeps displaying various ads during the scanning process which seems very annoying. Besides, if you are installing apps directly from the Play Store, then Google Play already provides enough security and lists trustworthy apps only. So, in most cases, there’s not much use of the built-in security scanner in Xiaomi phones anyway. Hence, for whatever reason you want to disable the Xiaomi Security Scan, here’s what you need to do.
