🔒 Manage Authorization & Revocation on Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro 5G | Privacy Control Guide 🛡️
1⚠ ️ Want to have more control over what your Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro 5G system apps and services are authorized to do? The "Authorization & revocation" setting in HyperOS (MIUI) allows you to manage permissions for various system components, often related to data collection, advertisements, or internet access for those services. This guide shows you how to access and use this feature.
Steps to Manage Authorization and Revocation on Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro 5G:
– Open Settings on your Poco X6 Pro 5G.
– Scroll down and tap on Passwords & security.
– Look for and select Authorization & revocation. (In some MIUI/HyperOS versions, this might be under a "Privacy" submenu within "Passwords & security," or listed directly).
– You will see a list of system apps and services (e.g., MSA, Feedback, GetApps, Mi Mover, etc.). Each will have a toggle switch indicating its current authorization status.
– To revoke authorization for a specific app or service, tap the toggle switch next to it to turn it OFF.
– Wait for the countdown: A warning pop-up will likely appear, explaining potential consequences (e.g., "the app may become unusable," or "ads may still appear but be less relevant"). You will usually need to wait for a short countdown (often 10 seconds) before the "Revoke" button becomes active.
– Tap Revoke to confirm your decision.
– Repeat these steps for any other apps or services for which you wish to revoke authorization.
Common Services You Might See and Consider Revoking:
MSA (MIUI System Ads / HyperOS System Ads): Revoking authorization for MSA is a common step users take to try and reduce system-level advertisements.
Feedback / User Experience Program: Disabling this can prevent the device from sending diagnostic, usage, and performance data to Xiaomi.
GetApps: If you prefer not to use Xiaomi's app store or want to limit its background activity.
Other system services: Depending on the service, revoking authorization might limit its ability to connect to the internet, collect data, or perform certain background tasks.
💡 Important Note:
– While revoking authorization for some services (like MSA or Feedback) can enhance privacy or reduce ads, be cautious. Revoking authorization for critical system services could potentially lead to instability or malfunction of certain device features. Only revoke if you understand the potential impact.
– Some core system services may not allow their authorization to be revoked, or the toggle might be greyed out.
– Apps might re-request authorization after a system update, or if you open them and they require the previously revoked permission to function.
– This process does not uninstall the apps; it only attempts to limit their pre-granted system-level authorizations for certain activities.
