HyperOS: how to easily remove ads and bloatware from your Redmi Note 14, 14 Pro or 14 Pro+.

The Redmi Note 14, 14 Pro and 14 Pro+ smartphones are powered by Xiaomi’s brand-new HyperOS system. While this considerably improves performance and fluidity, it still has a major flaw inherited from MIUI: the presence of intrusive ads and a large number of useless pre-installed applications (bloatware).

In this article, find out how to disable these ads, uninstall unnecessary apps and clean up your Redmi for a smoother, more personalized experience.

Summary

• Disable ads in HyperOS
• Remove ads from system applications
• Remove or disable pre-installed applications (bloatware)
• Advanced method: remove system applications via ADB
• Bonus: use an alternative ad-free launche

Disabling ads in HyperOS

Xiaomi uses a built-in service called MSA (MIUI System Ads) to inject ads into its devices. Here’s how to disable this feature:

1. Open the Settings application.
2. Go to Additional Settings.
3. Select Authorization and revocation.
4. Find the MSA and deactivate it.

Important: you must be connected to the Internet for revocation to work.

Remove ads from system applications

Even after disabling MSA, some native applications continue to display recommendations. Here’s how to disable them one by one.

Mi Video

• Open Mi Video > Settings > Disable Online Recommendations and Push Notifications.

Security application

• Open Security > Settings icon > deactivate Receive recommendations.

Themes application

• Go to Themes > Profile > Settings > deactivate Recommendations.

These steps will significantly reduce advertising in Xiaomi system apps.

Remove or disable pre-installed applications (bloatware)

Redmi Notes come with a large number of useless applications such as TikTok, Amazon, Facebook or sponsored games. You can uninstall or deactivate them:

Classic method:

1. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications.
2. Select the application you wish to remove.
3. Touch Uninstall (if available).

Please note: some system apps cannot be removed without additional tools.

Advanced method: Remove system apps via ADB

To remove system apps completely, you can use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) from your PC. No root required.

What you need:

Steps to follow:
